MUSTARD I – Ch. 23 | KT OLLA

THE setting sun shone against the large waters of the Atlantic Ocean, with sailing fleets sending sounds as they neared England.

Their masts blew so fast and proud in the wind. They were schooners ships sailing full masts in torrents that only pushed their sail.

The winds had been rather so favourable; and not even a storm was grounding their sail.

But the England-bound vessels were only bound so by a plan that their sailors didn’t know of.

For several nations were in those fleets for whom the winds blew. Ample winds to bring God nigh.

There had been several many days, nights and more since the ships set sail from Lagos, as they carried a multitude to fight in the World War.

The heavy ships had boarded people from the inland colonies of Britain. Then they’d sailed off the African continent, running westwards then northwards via the Cape of Good Coast, a waterway.

Moro was aboard that wild voyage. He was taken with the drafted soldiers on the British army.

Now a few months had passed as the vessels drove into England on the coasts of Western Europe. There was a striking sunset behind as the ships anchored at shore.

The lighthouse came on with lights as the night began. Then the drafted men were matched out of the ships... in a long, slow-moving line.

Moro stepped out and fell in line, too. He looked to shore and saw parked wagons. The sort of army trucks that carried them to Lagos, when they were captured from home.

He sighted those hoofed beasts, and recognised them. So he tried to guess where the trucks would take them.

If these be these asts took us away from home, then they wouldn’t be stopping now.

So they must be taking us to their camp first, and then to the warfront.

There’s no going back now, I guess!

Well, the forty-five-year-old was right on this. For from further behind on the stretching queue, he could see people at the forefront lined up to the waiting trucks.

So the man felt great that he could, at least, preempt things. And took this as an edge over his captors.

Even so, he stayed in the line and watched to see things happen.

Suddenly—it was in a millisecond, there was gunfire. A rifle went off behind him with a loud bang.

There was a spark, a blinding flash burning red.

It was a bullet, and it tore through the air past the nape of the standing man. It went through him with a burning force and struck him down to ground.

There was terror and a dead silence. For one man was hit with that gunshot.

And that one was Moro.

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...
