MUSTARD IV – Ch. 7 | KT OLLA

WITH Joshua not being able to keep a woman, everything seemed to have reached the limit.

Then there came the weight over his whole being.

No not the roof pulled over his, or the weight of his brother’s children on him.

Well, those were heavy weight enough, but then there was this.

He came down with body pain every now and then.

This was the story of Bamiji Morrow before he met the Lord Jesus.

He visited clinic every time, treating body ache and pain...

Yesterday, it was a fever – something the Western world call malaria. Then today it felt different, so they treated fatigue.

Over the night, it was something else. Something... anything that brought real pain.

Headache, backache... just everything.

And this was Morrow before future... before Tomorrow.

So now, the man sought help from magic healers those years.

He was a church goer, yes; but then like several folks of his time, he asked aid from sorcerers.

He hadn’t known Christ nor felt His power before.

So, anyone who claimed he could see past natural, the school principal often tried to meet.

Only, he wouldn’t go for Christ’s ministers.

So Banji spent quite a fortune on soothsayers. He kept magic books and recited spelled words.

He was made to sleep in jungles to find sleep at home. Everything was quite a joke of his predicament.

The elite teacher followed those odd practices and still didn’t find rest.

He grew exhausted.

Then, one day a few townspeople went to him, along with some of his relatives.

Then they talked nonsense – as their talk felt quite like the time of Bepo and co.

So, they talked with the elite man about his retirement, and made no sense at all.

‘You will retire soon, Principal sir. And you know, you’re somebody of note here.

‘I mean, we know what you have achieved! Talk about everything you have built... you know what I’m saying!

‘All right... let me put it clearly: when you retire, your status too will retire?

‘You’re one of our rich and famous, so we can boast that you are!

‘But what happens when you retire and the money... well?

‘What if you die broke? Aren’t you worried?’

Those folks thought to trap Morrow with more that day, more of fetish that had got him this stuck.

They threw at him the temptation to trade a life for wealth, or sell his own soul for it.

It was pagan practice in those places, and Banji feared enough to trash the talk.

That was the man’s saving grace. For that road was clearly one of no-return.

Heaven was touched at this man who feared, at least. He saw someone who hated wrong.

So that time, God Most High bowed to look. Then He went down to Ede, Nigeria.

For a wind blew the gospel there—

Nineteen Eighty-Four.

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...
