MUSTARD II – Ch. 4 | KT OLLA

THE first night of Morrow’s return to Ede was one full of surprises, some petty august surprises.

For when news got to Wura in town that her man had arrived, she rushed back to their old home with the kids. Even that midnight hour.

Everyone had gone back to rest after finishing tidying up the house. So Morrow was the only one left in there.

And he was just beginning to find sleep where he laid in his chamber, when he heard a knock.

Then the door opened with a slothful creak, as both cold and the tears of a woman poured in.

‘Ah my lord, my crown and owner of my dowry! I told them you’ll come back—

‘Oh let shame be for my enemies! I told them you will come!’

Morrow picked the voice from the get-go, and nothing had changed in its nature. Yet that manner of greeting was the odd thing there.

Plus, the fact that Wura was rushing from her parents’ house that late hour of night.

So the man sat up on the mat where he lay down. He bent a knee and laid the other...

Then he looked to the door with one arm on his raised knee—he thought to study her.

Just then Wura stormed into their old chamber, shoved the kids in their rooms, then dropped to her knees.

‘I just heard you arrived, so I came running! I’ve been listening for your news all these years! I swear that I have been!’

Morrow kept quiet, so she stopped talking and faced down.

In a while the man spoke, un-bottling his doubts.

‘But you are staying with your parents, aren’t you? Or do you not lodge with them?’

Wura shot her head up. She stared in her man’s eyes, trying to read what he just said. So her eyes blinked as she glared at him.

Morrow went on. ‘If you’ve been staying with them, it is only natural that I come visit tomorrow. Then everyone can come back home.

‘But this—’ he chuckled. ‘Tell me, why on earth...?’

‘I can’t sleep tonight if I don’t see you!’ It was the point the lady broke down.

She burst out. ‘I told you that I have been waiting! Been looking out for news every single day!

‘So tell me how I could’ve slept when I heard! I heard you came and I couldn’t help it anymore!’

She bowed down sobbing.

Morrow was moved, so he got up and picked her up. He couldn’t bear to see those tears.

‘I already thought good of you, so you don’t have to kneel to explain this.

‘So get up, Wura – you do like you don’t know your man again!’

Yes, that first night that Morrow spent at home was one with new surprises.

For it was this man who hadn’t known his wife. He hadn’t known Wura.

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...
