MUSTARD III – Ch. 26 (FINALE) | KT OLLA

JOSHUA Morrow saw what his foster kids did, and it hurt him a lot.

He had thought he’d got children in his nephews and nieces, so he had loved them. But there they were drawing the line.

It was thin line, yet thick.

But then Bamiji went on raising them all. Only, he knew whose children they were.

They weren’t his.

So, when the males among Dekomi’s kids drew thick lines between them and their uncle, Bamiji felt so betrayed.

It was payback that hit home. But God was planning good.

No, this thing wrecked Joshua to pieces. He faced himself and saw failure.

Those children were like the home he was building. And now they were crumbling like sand castles.

No, he didn’t see future... just failure.

For the first time in plenty years, the fact that Banji had nobody fazed him hard.

But he knew nothing about God. That He could bring something out of nothing... like He alone can do.

So, Banji sank several times in the squalors of that moment.

He felt sad, lonely. So he drank even more and smoked.

He parked his car, then dropped in drainage each night he drank out.

And God pitied.

So, a day came when Morrow came to himself and promised to change.

So he stopped going out in the evenings to drink. He stayed home and drank a few tumblers.

But soon he bought crates of beer and turned his house a bar.

Then, he felt helpless.

You were a scout in your training days, uh-huh. Discipline is your watchword. Discipline’s what a scout lives by, right?

So why, Banji? Why can’t you end this once and for all?

‘Be prepared!’ That’s a scout’s best line. So upon your honour, do something… do something!!

Well, Mr Morrow was quite the noble man, disciplined and reverent in word and deed.

He wouldn’t hurt strangers, nor stab friends in the back...

They wouldn’t buy his conscience either.

Now he went through life on just good deeds. And was Christian without following Christ.

But then the Lord was calling him; for He liked to show him how... how to live the Christ life.

So, Morrow got up that day and kept all the beer crates beneath bed. Then he vowed never to climb down.

He stuffed his fridge with soft drinks, burnt his cigarette packs; and each time his cravings returned, he ran to his cold drinks...

His bottles of water and juice.

That day, at the dusk of a decade, the God of Heaven looked down.

He watched a soul struggle for honour, and knew he strove for rightness.

So, Heaven reached down, pulled him out; and placed a future on the way.

Here was J. Morrow, 1979.

To Be Continued.

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...
