Battle of the Godless – Ch. 2 | KT OLLA

NOW Rekah felt she had the words, those perfect words to answer her son.

But just as she made to speak, Micah took his remorse a step further.

The middle-aged stepped behind the chamber door and pulled out the large chest wrapped in heavy coat.

He came back to where they were sitting with the bundle in his hand. Then he took away the cloth concealing the treasure and bolted the chest open.

‘Mother, here is everything. I am really sorry!’ he said.

Then he handed the treasure box over to his mother and bowed his knee in front of her.

Rekah was too stunned that her words escaped her mind. She’d lost hope in finding her money.

And just then when her son told her he was the one who stole it, she didn’t expect him to return a part in fact. Let alone expect to have everything back.

She’d thought Micah must have spent the money on himself. And she was even willing to forgive it. 

But now that the old woman was having her entire loss back, the same child that stole her treasure now appeared to her as a source of blessing, a bundle of joy.

So Rekah found better words to answer her son now. For she’d just made a decision for that son she called pious.

‘Ah the Lord bless you, my son!’ she gasped as she touched his humble shoulder.

‘The God of Abraham and Israel bless you! Ah thank you for returning this to me; thank you, my good son!’

Then Rekah raised her son up to sit by her, and then she shared her decision with him.

‘You’ve done well, my son; and I’m so pleased with you today!

‘Look, I’m not going to use this money for smaller things I intended it for initially. I am going to consecrate it to the Lord our God for you!’

Micah looked at his mother, his eyes requesting some clarity.

‘Ah my pious child!’ the woman beamed. ‘I’m going to take this coins and make you a sacred gift in honour of the Almighty God whom you long to know!

‘And by this, I shall stop the curse on you, my son. Because I will simply dedicate this silver coins to the Lord on your behalf!’

Micah just stared at his mother, speechless. For rather than being excited at that answer, the middle-aged man felt curious as to what his mother was up to.

For truly it was the Age of Darkness in ancient Israel, when the people of God didn’t know God.

And Micah wondered how his own mother knew. He contemplated whether she’d met Him.

Sons of the Flaming Throne 2 – Ch. 20 | KT OLLA

DAVID had been reigning for about forty years already. And in those years of his reign in Israel, soldiers have stood and fallen for him. The warlord had conquered lands, conquered nations. He’d taken territories, subdued enemies. Yet as the monarch grew older and nations bowed to him, there remained no wars to fight; and so his valiant men had nothing doing. His soldiers settled in families and kept livestock. They became shepherds and keepers of vines. The great ones among them got involved in public duties and administration. Still, there were a few who didn’t change with the changing tide. And chief among them was Joab, commander of the army. No, it wasn’t that the man didn’t settle down with family or other civil matters. But Joab wasn’t quite settled enough when it came to his heart and attitude. The old man had been quite loyal to David through the long years. But ever since the time that wars were done with, he had lost his sense of purpose. Joab wasn’t all that interested in n...

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...

Sons Of The Flaming Throne – Ch.50 (Final Episode) | KT OLLA

PRINCE S’alom was beaten once; and then a second time. It was by two things that baffle the mind. For not only was he shocked that his men kept running for their lives. As they fled when they were chased past; and he wished they could stop to help. But now he was even more dazed when he saw that his father’s men left him hanging. He realized that those boys weren’t sent to kill him. Yes, the Third One knew this from the start. That if David had wanted him dead, he’d have been long dead and buried. Now it was clear that he’d been taking advantage of the just man’s goodwill. And this he knew himself. The prince faced this truth; so it knocked him off that David was still being kind. No, he’d so taken things for granted. Therefore, it happened that one of the chasers who ran past returned to find Joab when he saw the prince hanging. He told the captain what he saw and assured him the prince wasn’t dead. Now when the general saw that the boy didn’t kill him, he went all mad and furious. ‘W...
