MUSTARD II – Ch. 21 | KT OLLA

MORROW’S guests were a company of eight – five men and three women. So his small family settled them in two of their bedchambers. Then called to Oji and Daleka for more space for them.

So, this ‘house’ of three brothers happened to shelter God’s messengers. They housed them through their early work in Ede.

Then, that night when the evangelists arrived, Morrow had his wife prepare fine meal. Some African dish with sauce, and a heavy cap of goat meat.

So the household settled to eat, together with its guests. The man laid down some straw mat for the team, then another for his family. So, they dined as one.

The missionaries felt quite grateful they wanted to say thank you. But they found the language quite a barrier. So they gestured broadly as they spoke.

‘Thank you! I mean... we’re thanking you – thank you!’

The elderly man replied them. So it caught his guests by surprise.

‘Thank God! Yes, thank God!’ It was the farthest he could try.

‘Oh, you speak English? You can speak English?’

Morrow replied yet again, but stuttered this time.

‘I fight you war. You war I fight. You war five years. I fight English war!’

‘Oh, you fought in the war!’ picked a man in the group. Morrow nodded to the speaker that was it.

‘Oh you’ve been to the West!’ smiled a lady.

Morrow looked at her and said, ‘To England!’

He turned to the rest. ‘Now Christian, my house. House of Morrow here. So, welcome!’

The whole group was quite amazed to find this warmth, this noble welcome in the very heart of town. For they’d toiled since they arrived there.

Impressed by their host’s talk, the guests suddenly put their hands together, cheering brightly.

‘Oh thank you! We’re quite pleased!’

‘You speak greatly sir!’

‘Ah, God’s peace has come to abide!’

‘Amen-amen...!’

Yes, things went so bright that evening.

Oki sat there, utterly impressed at her man’s wit. She’d just seen him strike a conversation with ‘Whitemen’. So she felt quite awed at his vastness.

She sat there just gushing at him... just him. She fancied how this father of her kid had met foreigners in that famed war.

How he’d stood shoulder to shoulder with people of white skin, and spoke their language to them. Then, came back home to marry her.

No, the tall elegant beauty hadn’t felt prouder. That Morrow was hers.

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...
