MUSTARD II – Ch. 16 | KT OLLA

MORROW found himself waiting each morning for the group of friends to come round. To use the way through his place and walk past.

He’d seen someone refresh his spirit like she was his angel. The way she talked to him, smiled at him, and liked him.

He wanted to have a young friend like her. Who he could talk to on matters that irked him.

He didn’t need her to give answer to all his weighty matters. He just wanted to talk to someone.

Still, he realised that each time he saw Oki, he forgot everything about the burdens. Like those weights hadn’t mattered.

So Morrow looked forward to seeing the girl. And truly, the young one passed his place with fewer friends. It was for a few weeks.

They would pass and Oki would wave at him, smiling. Yes, she hailed brightly it stopped to matter she didn’t kowtow.

For she was meant to bend the knee to greet an elder. But Morrow was her hero.

Therefore, a morning came and her girlfriends weren’t in her train. She was the only one passing. 

So Oki stopped by the house. The elder was sitting out in his veranda as the cute one joined, and made walls their seat.

Thus, weeks rolled into months and the fine pair still met to talk...

At times, Morrow would travel to farm; yet he did always tell his friend when he’d be back.

Now they grew on each other, sharing the same worldview. Yet Morrow didn’t touch her, nor did Oki move in with him.

So they talked like they were more. Like they were meant for more.

Oki adored her man that he didn’t use her. Morrow said he was a Christian, and told her how he got to be one.

The lady didn’t understand him, yet she joined him when he prayed. She said she would practice his religion.

Morrow knew nothing beyond the basics of being Christian. So he did fear God and hate evil. He put faith in no idol but God. He learnt to ask things in Jesus Christ’s name.

In those years, there was just one church in Ede. And so, solemn matters as divorce and remarriage were fairly complex.

Yet fate was guiding a man who knew quite little of faith. No, it was providence he couldn’t stop.

So, by the end of that year, Morrow asked a dainty queen from her father. Then Oki moved in with him to join his great world.

It was Dry Season, 1919.

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...
