MUSTARD II – Ch. 15 | KT OLLA

A COUPLE of days passed and this new day, Morrow woke up to nothing still. He woke up and found nothing worth a chase.

The gentleman tidied up, made his meal himself and took his breakfast. Then he sat in his veranda and watch the world roll.

The old veteran missed his lost family, his wife and their two kids. Yet he wouldn’t ask them back.

Now it was the mother who kept her kids in those days, if she happened to leave their father. For the men wouldn’t struggle to raise them – it was the woman’s burden.

So the family head sat alone without family. Without the people who answered his name.

But he didn’t sit for too long before something else caught his eyes.

He sighted a few young women passing. Then he realised they were the same clique of friends who passed days earlier.

The group was smaller this time, so he hurried to see if the girl was there – the one with the keen eyes.

Then he spotted her stopping their group to tell them something. And the next moment, they wandered close.

The elder spoke. ‘Oh are you not—?’

‘Yes, we are sir! We’re passing and thought to thank you for the other day!’

It was Oki fronting things.

‘So thank you, sir! You were so good to us. Thanks so much!’

‘No, that is nothing,’ answered Morrow. ‘Then did y’ all get back safely?’

‘Yes—!’ beamed someone else, attempting to lead.

But then Oki cut her before she could, and took back her centre stage.

‘We all got home safely, sir! Thank you for everything!’

Oki’s friends turned to look at her. Then they caught her drift in a single glance.

She was acting out of herself, so they got her. Then they stepped back and watched.

The girl went on talking and talking. She waved goodbye and didn’t leave.

‘We like to be on our way, sir! We use this way these days!’

‘Oh...!’

‘So, we’ll be going! Please say our thanks to mama and everybody home!’

Morrow didn’t react.

‘Oki is my name and these are my good friends – some of us aren’t here today!’

The middle-aged man only dropped an ‘Oh, I see!’ But he hadn’t seen her.

Oki’s peers were the only ones who saw through the fan girl. So while she rapped words like she’d met her prince, they told themselves they were backing out.

That they wouldn’t follow like they did this day.

Truly, it was this young admirer who got her friends to roam the paths they passed the last time.

Some of them weren’t ready to wander with no end in mind. So they hadn’t followed her.

Therefore when they passed and saw Morrow, and Oki had talked them into saying hi...

In fact, just when they went with her to the man’s door, the girl’s fancies went public. Her wild dreams leaked.

So, one of the friends pulled her back and announced their leave.

‘We’ll be on our way, sir. Thanks for earlier!’

‘That is good,’ answered the man. Then he added as an elder, ‘Go safely!’

Yes, this was the time when seasons change and this survivor was changing, too.

He started to feel that humanity still oozed with love and life, and grace.

But he’d just met his woman, and he didn’t know.

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...
