MUSTARD IV – Ch. 13 (FINALE) | KT OLLA

NOW after a while, the Morrows started looking forward to finding joy again. They wanted kids.

For when people say one should never give up hope, it appears as though even our breath is hope.

Well, this breath we take is Hope. So when we give up hope, we give up life. We give up the chance to live a dream. We give up on us.

Now the Morrows didn’t. They dared to live their dreams. They dared to hope.

But there they were, the pregnancy suddenly stopped forming then. There were no signs of conception. Life went that hard.

But right at the time, a rainbow appeared. And Future was born.

It was March 1986, and the wind of God’s Spirit had changed Nigeria.

There was a huge hunger for God and the wonders He alone can do.

Then there were more outreaches, then more miracles in church.

So this day came and the couple went for a church program.

It was an outreach; so people had gathered with issues only God could solve.

Banji and Grace were among the thousands gathered there.

Well, the couple were disciples under the ministry of Enoch Adeboye.

Then the Lord had called the revivalist to both shepherd and preach; to pastor and to reach.

So that time, Pastor Adeboye held his outreach in church. Then it reached beyond the walls.

Now in that big outreach, the first two weeks of March then, there went mighty proofs of God’s power.

There were the blind who saw, the crippled who walked – and diseases being healed at the name of Jesus Christ.

Then in the middle of all this, God spoke in the preacher’s ears.

He paused amid the sermon, and said:

‘The Lord says, “There is a woman here: You have had two miscarriages in a row, and even now you think you will not conceive.”

‘Daddy asked me to tell you, “Prepare for a full house.” Because He is giving you two sets of twins!’

That moment was the miracle. A resounding amen tore through the crowd.

There was suddenly joy springing up in dry ground. And in one corner of that place, a 31-year-old woman was up in tears.

‘That is me!’ she cried. ‘Yes, that is me! It is me!’

There are no apt words for this; but Grace knew this was her.

She wished she could prove it, then God did.

For she missed her next flow—and cried.


To Be Continued… in 5.

MUSTARD I – Ch. 7 | KT OLLA

NOW it had rained all morning this day. And the sun was finally tearing through clouds to take the day’s glory. It was a brief break for the villages of Ede’s farmlands. As they rested from taking turns in harvesting yams. The town’s harvest season of yam and cassava tubers were in the rains... So they worked double to get them stored in barns and sold in markets – to avoid early rot in the wet weather. Yes, the crops were sources of flours and flakes for main foods. And several kinds of yam – like the ewùrà, ebòlò and the white yam, were also prepared as meals. So, everyone was out going about their own business those rest days... The farmers would go for a routine check on their farm every morning. And return earlier than the time to gather for talks by evening. Every evening, the men would sit under the shade of trees, and play board games amid talk and drinks. They’d talk about everything. From the ruler to their people. And to their wives and children. The young Moro chose to go a...

Sons of the Flaming Throne 2 – Ch. 9 | KT OLLA

ABISHUM wasn’t done speaking. So she picked up on the matter as things were bound to change. She spoke: ‘See, it was a bedroom cry for Aleph. But not until the day things were shoved in her face… ‘And that day she gave up on hoping! ‘Well, what Aleph thought was the reason why Beth couldn’t marry, was different from what it was with people. ‘She used to think it was because there was no man in her house to ask the daughter from. As is our customary practice in Israel.  ‘But when a drunken man shoved it in her face one night, it hurt her too much what people say. ‘“No one will marry your daughter, woman! Why will anyone do? When death hides in her bosom like it hid in yours. Or why did your husband die? ‘“Look, if you don’t know it – your family is cursed! You only have one child in a nation of plenty. ‘“God has prospered Israel with many children like the sea sand. But what do your family bear? Only one! ‘“So, who will want your cursed daughter for his son to love? You really don’t...

Knighted Again – Ch.13 | KT OLLA

MAQWELA caught the smile on Nile’s face as he turned back to him. He knew why the boy smiled, yet he liked him more. Those were some things of innocence that he missed. The king liked people who wouldn’t cower when he used power. Unlike how he’d tremble as a boy when his late father abused the right. Yes, he liked folks who still retained their peace as they grew. Like those cute youngsters listening to him. So the monarch resumed, but he preferred to go the earnest way. ‘Now like I said earlier, that nobody enters here except Maqwela passes them – you must also know that nobody hears the things I’ll be speaking now unless we tell them! ‘Now I know you’re smart enough to know what I said – and what I left unsaid!’ The duo braced up and gestured with a nod. They knew the weight of that sentence and were ready to keep the monarch’s secret. They knew they were about to hear a blast. And so they braced up for it. Right then the middle-aged heaved a deep breath, crossed his arms over his ch...
