MUSTARD IV – Ch. 9 | KT OLLA

BAMIJI’s whole life was there responding to God. Everything spoken that evening appeared to be for him.

Like they were directed at him. Like the preacher felt he was there.

He felt no restrain nor caution. He was just all ready to try Jesus.

That is one way he hadn’t gone, since the day he sought means.

Yes, he’d found Jesus quite familiar – the Name he heard every Sunday in church.

The same he saw in the pages of Bible... to him, a study text on religion.

Jesus is the major character of the New Testament—he would say, so who wouldn’t know Jesus?

But right there in his humble place, he heard the Name again. He got a whole new sight of everything he’d known.

‘Jesus is the Way!’ he cried. ‘He is the Way I never tried!

‘The way out of my trouble, these burdens and battle! I’m sure He is the One!’

The 59-year-old was touched as he shed a tear.

He wished he’d heard the gospel before. But then he’d heard it and hadn’t grasped things those times.

Yet this time, he wanted it—and tried.

No he couldn’t dare to join the group during their program. He simply waited till the end, and went out to see the place.

He wanted to meet the organizers, then share his problems. He wanted answers that just Christ can give.

The elderly man got dressed, then trudged to the outreach ground.

The organizers were packing up amid volunteers from town.

The lights were being taken down; so Morrow walked there and asked for counsel.

Being a respectable old man, he was taken to meet the preacher.

The Reverend was equally an old man, so he talked candidly with Morrow.

He revealed to him what Jesus could do with him. That He could turn everything new, give him rest and future, too.

Bamiji surrendered his heart to Christ as Odu prayed for his salvation.

He suddenly found peace. Like a huge load rolled off his back.

He shed tears; felt so free, so lighthearted. He felt so new he wept.

Bamiji found rest where he didn’t know he would. For it was the first time he knew that God loved him.

He thought about himself, and wept that he was just knowing.

The elder took the preacher to his house, and Odu prayed for deliverance.

Joshua Morrow took out the magic papers he kept, the spells and everything else... and threw them all in fire.

He decided to follow Jesus all the way now.

That night, a 59-year-old Morrow waved yesterday bye.

He went all in as a disciple of Christ, and never looked back.

That night Joshua slept for the first time in adult years... as sound as a baby does.

Panic disappeared, weakness too. All demons left him alone.

It was 1984 October.

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...
