MUSTARD II – Ch. 23 (FINALE) | KT OLLA

THE coming of the missionaries to Morrow’s house was the start of a great future.

For through their stay in the little compound-house, even Oji and Daleka’s families got converted. Then their grown boys enrolled in the local school.

Yes, it was a huge turnabout that happened there in the houses of three brothers.

First, Oki – now Maria, found joy again in the wake of 1925 while the harmattan season peaked; as she suddenly saw that she’d taken in. She’d been weeks pregnant.

So, time went and turned in circle as it was almost harmattan again. Then life broke the waters to push through.

It was the eighth month in 1925, and a biting cold was the new weather. It was something that marked August in those years.

The Yoruba people called it Ọgìnìtì (with a falling sound on each of the vowels). And weather studies termed it August Break... a period when the rains break’d with cold, with this break being August then.

So, the sub-season went with a keen chill – the keenest to witness all through year.

Now it was August Break, then before it passed a new day broke. For the promised child came for Morrow and Maria.

They named their new born son Joshua. They called him Joshua Bamiji Morrow.

So, in the course of time, this promise kid went on to be the first in Ede to attend college. And the first University graduate there, in the 1960’s.

Even still, there was much more breakthroughs that greeted the house of three brothers – since God’s messengers lodged with them.

For Oji’s grandkids went on to become professors and medical doctors.

Still Daleka’s house wasn’t left out, as the change from that visit went round. Yes, his only son grew to teach in schools and married a seasoned teacher, too.

Now this was a mere glint of the grace that grazed their world, this house of three brothers.

For those career peaks were only a trace of the depths of favour poured on their seed. As it felt like time hadn’t forgotten that they sheltered God’s angels.

Even so, the man called Future had his own path looking rough. For while his brothers’ seed yielded harvests, his was just being sown.

Yet his ground looked either too hard or too loose to grow seed. Like dust on some parched desert hill.

But it was 1925 when Joshua Morrow came, and the man named Future was in that future.

For Joshua was born to scale the name through heights. He was born to lead it to promise.

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...
