MUSTARD II – Ch. 18 | KT OLLA

IT was mid-day and the sun was just rising above the head. A few plantings and harvests had gone by and it was another year.

Morrow walked back in his house and announced he was there. He had been sent for from his hut at the farm village. He’d been gone for some time to check up on things.

Daleka and Oji were equally at their farms. So their wives had sent two grown sons to the farm to ask their in-law back.

They had news for Morrow.

So, just while the farmer walked back in the house, they told him how serious things were.

Morrow ran into the bedchamber, saw Oki with their little boy. Saw her cry as Dekomi laid weak in his bones.

The beautiful kid’s body burned hot like he’d caught a fever. But his joints and ankle got swollen, too, that it seemed this was no fever.

The little child ached and he couldn’t stand.

Now his father bowed low there and felt him. He asked if they’d treated him for fever; and they’d done so, but this was some new sort.

So Oki nodded and answered, ‘Let’s take him to Cottage!’ It was the name they called the clinic uptown.

Thus, Morrow and his wife took their son there. It was quite a long hike from downtown.

Oki backed the child and Morrow trudged by her. Then at a point the man took him up in arms. They walked beneath the jungle shade.

Now they arrived and the uptown clinic took the boy. They examined and diagnosed him.

So, they gave medications to manage the pain; then, told them things might get worse with time.

The fine-looking kid had developed rheumatism. He’d suddenly gone down with rheumatic fever, and might lose his walk in time.

It was tough news for his parents.

So, the news was all rain and water for the newly-made parents. As it dampened and saddened them.

Yes, they’d felt content with having this one kid, considering their long wait to have him.

But then here were their hopes crashing down in sand. Their good dreams, crippled and floored.

Morrow sighed plenty times, and Oki cried doubled it. They felt so hurt and sad.

Now they picked up their boy and headed home, as it was dark already.

The night was quite the starless one. It was to be a night to try their skies.

Even then, all night skies do turn to day for children of the Most High.

So even that night, light came visiting. And the day meant to stay dark suddenly broke.

Yes, the man called Future had the stars visiting. They landed quite big for his house to contain.

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...
