MUSTARD III – Ch. 14 | KT OLLA

NOW weeks passed, then months; but Joshua wasn’t over the grief.

 He emptied bottles at bars, then staggered home wasted. He dropped in gutters and bathrooms, and spewed all dirt.

Then he promised Oki to stop. He’d stop for mama’s sake.

But Banji tried everything and just couldn’t stop. He sniffed things and got hooked.

 Then he picked cigar, thinking it could distract him awhile. He wanted to do anything, except beer.

Now he went for cigarettes, then a smoke became packets, and from packets a few brands.

Joshua was stuck in quicksand, faster in fact than quicksand does you. And even Scout rules failed him—for nothing holds feet there.

Now his sorrows soon got numbed, so he pushed on.

Meanwhile his kid sisters had become women, so Banji gave their hands in marriage.

One of their suitors wasn’t of the same faith as Morrow’s family. But he was affluent, so Banji liked him.

He cared little about faith in marriage. The thing looked like mere rules to him.

‘That’s religion,’ he would say. For he didn’t know about redemption through Jesus – and the Christian life.

So, when someone from a different faith came asking one of his sisters, he didn’t give this plenty talk before he handed her to the man.

It was Comfort—and she trusted him. She trusted her brother’s lead.

So, Morrow led this new life, and sorted family matters.

He married out his two sisters, then left home to work.

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...
