Wanted Here – Ch.37 | KT OLLA

VINCENT Macaulay had given a long talk already. And he could tell from his listeners’s demeanor that they’d gotten his point.

But the man had concerns. He was concerned that his nephews might go the way of calculations again to follow what he’d just told them.

So he decided to spell out his words clearly.

He addressed the two young men.

“Marcuz and Luca, listen. I believe you wouldn’t take my talks as some code, and start decoding and calculating.

“I will tell you the weapon of your warfare in plain language.”

“Okay sir,” the boys replied.

Now he explained:

“If Paul said that these weapons aren’t physical, then you wonder how you can fight if you can’t bank on your guts, your wits, and brains.

“Well, I will show you how from the scriptures.”

He asked for a copy of Bible, so Marcuz went in and brought his copy. It was the Good News Bible, Today’s English Version.

Vincent told him he’d be reading Paul’s Epistle to the Ephesians. Chapter 6 and verses 12 through 18.

So Marcuz sat down and opened the passage. Then he read it slowly.

For we are not fighting against human beings but against the wicked spiritual forces in the heavenly world, the rulers, authorities, and cosmic powers of this dark age.

So put on God’s armour now! Then when the evil day comes, you will be able to resist the enemy’s attacks; and after fighting to the end, you will still hold your ground.

So stand ready, with truth as a belt tight round your waist, with righteousness as your breastplate, and as your shoes the readiness to announce the Good News of peace.

At all times carry faith as a shield; for with it you will be able to put out all the burning arrows shot by the Evil One.

And accept salvation as a helmet, and the word of God as the sword which the Spirit gives you.

Do all this in prayer, asking for God’s help. Pray on every occasion, as the Spirit leads. For this reason keep alert and never give up; pray always for all God’s people.

Marcuz raised his head as he finished reading the passage. Then his uncle picked up in the instant.

“Now Marcuz, I guess you know what to do.”

“Yes sir,” the boy answered.

“Well, I will tell you all the same: Take your warfare spiritual cos the battle is spiritual—

“Be on your guard with truth – not with cutting corners. You’ll keep on losing if being cunning remains your way.

“So let righteousness be your defense, too. So you’ll be prepared to go anywhere Christ wants you to save lives.

“Stop running here and there, looking for cheap aids. There’s nothing fear has got to do offer you now.

“So for your defense, add bold faith. See, it’s so powerful it turns the devil’s threat into nothing.

“Now you know you’re not even covered if you’re not saved. So be sure of your salvation always.

“Then, launch your warfare on your knees in prayer.

“You can stand, you can walk around, you can lie on your face. But bow down your soul to God, and move the Almighty to fight.

“Move Him by His Word, the Scriptures—the Sword of the Holy Spirit.

“Now you know what to do, my boy. So, tell me when the results come!”

“All right, Uncle,” said Marcuz. “Thank you very much, sir.”

That day, the young chemist learned the art of spiritual warfare. And he chose to do his battles this way.

That day, an easy prey suddenly turned a force to fear.

Sons of the Flaming Throne 3 – Ch. 30 (FINALE) | KT OLLA

AT Gibeon King Solomon offered a huge sacrifice of a thousand cattle. That great sacrifice stirred up the heart of God, as the soul which offered it pleased Him much. So there in the smoking clouds, God appeared to Solomon—and it was a breathtaking moment to hear Him speak. For He asked a man to make a wish: He asked Solomon to state his need. ‘I have seen your heart and your offering, and I am pleased with you this day. ‘Therefore Son of David, ask of Me anything you please, and I shall give you whatever you say.’ Right there where the mortal man bowed, he knew this was a mighty offer. But his needs weren’t so many to place in a giant offer. He wanted to ask one thing that is mightier than power and riches. He wanted to own one thing that is chief among so many. So He answered, ‘O God of Israel, You have loved David and blessed him in his days. ‘And this grace, You have extended to me his son: You have set me on his throne. ‘Still here I am in the midst of the many people you have mad...

Here’s what God asks us to tell His people in Nigeria | KT OLLA

  Dear Readers, here is what God asks us to tell Nigeria, today the 1st of April, 2022 —  THE PROPHECY  — 1. The Lord said the sins and atrocities of Nigeria He can no longer ignore. He said He will now punish all lawlessness, unless we repent and change our ways. 2. He said it is for this sake that He has withdrawn the showers of rain, and made them really sparse. 3. God said unless Nigerians repent and turn from all lawlessness, there is coming a draught so severe that it will spark up very strange fires. 4. Yet so that God’s people will not suffer or be shaken, He asks us to tell you our readers and everyone who cares to listen, that you store and keep storing up water without a stop. He sternly instructed us all to do this. 5. God also commanded us to assure His people of His promise for this time. He said He will preserve the righteous during these trying times that will go on to try even the world. 6. He said several times over that the righteous will inherit t...

🛡️Safety Call! – KT OLLA

Running into a rock? The times are testing everywhere in the world. Outdoor is the heat of violence and crime; indoors are the worst cases of lack or need. Everything seemed like the end is here, when most people are just starting to live. But whether it is the beginning of the end, or nothing like it at all… well, all of us just wants to survive. We mean, really survive. Like running into a rock till the heat of God’s sun passes. For this too shall pass, we know. But then, a question sometimes bothers us – particularly at this time. And it is this one thing that we often ask: “Isn’t there something we can do to escape these harsh realities? Isn’t there something we can do at the very least?” The whole world had stayed home at a time, till we were all tired of hiding. But home stopped proving to be a good shelter those times. In fact, plagues opened locked doors and stole away our dear ones. We had thereafter fled outside, running from those things that plagued our earth. We hid in roc...
