MUSTARD IV – Ch. 12 | KT OLLA

NOW with Bamiji married, the old man waited and hoped for everything marriage has got to offer. The love, the peace, the kids. He wanted all of these.

So he hoped and prayed. Then soon enough Joshua’s wife took in and the couple felt joy.

This seemed to be the end of the waiting. Like Bamiji finally got all he wanted from life. But then all hell broke loose for the coming child.

For the old man wasn’t just making a family. He was completing one.

He was completing a dream.

Now a morning came and some ill winds blew. It blew in the direction of the Morrows...

For they lost their baby before it fully formed. And this wrecked the school teacher.

Each time that Banji asked what happened, Grace would say she felt some strange presence by her.

That when she checked to see who it was, standing by her bedside, she sighted fear.

Then suddenly she felt blood, and there, miscarried.

Well, the Christian couple could tell from that experience that this was an attack, a spiritual one. So they prayed more and fasted on top it.

Banji started to ask real questions. He pondered why anybody would want him ruined...

Why someone, or anyone, in the world would loathe him this much.

He was 60 that year, and then it had taken this long to expect his first child.

He had been thrilled beyond words; for this was pure miracle.

Yes, the man had concluded he couldn’t father a kid. Then he’d grown disinterested in women.

But then he’d seen the story of his father Moro; and his was quite similar.

So, he found hope, but now there was this. A full miscarriage.

Bamiji was sad.

Well, he had wronged no man, he would say. And no, he didn’t hurt a soul, but had no family till 60.

Then he didn’t hurt nobody, but everyone’s load became his.

Now that was life playing out. No, not life—or life could mean hell.

But that was hate. Just pure hate.

But see, life went on and the Morrows became expectant again. Grace became pregnant, and her man was ready to do anything.

He’d stay awake, stay on guard. Pray harder and check up on her.

He’d do all the house chores so this one would stay. (He had made his relatives leave.)

So the Morrows were expectant again by November in ’85.

But then the ghostly occurrence replayed, and they lost the baby.

This thing weighed quite much on the old school teacher.

He wanted to peer again into future and expect some new joy.

He wanted to sleep and wake up tomorrow.

But now, he felt exhausted.

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...
