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.

‘Why will you not finish up the man we’re chasing? Why? What if his soldiers let him loose?’

The young soldier explained that he only followed the order given them. He reminded the captain that the king had clearly asked them to spare him.

At that instant Joab smirked and mocked his reason. He didn’t have the time for any excuse. He was sure he knew what David wanted.

Then even if it was hard to end a son, Joab told himself Absalom was no son.

Therefore with a wild flight through the woods, the man raced faster than the one who guided him.

Then when he got to the spot and found the prince still there, he was a hundred times relieved.

Joab looked up at the young man and their burning eyes met. His gaze was the eager one; then the prince’s own quite the stare.

Absalom said no word. But Joab, he spoke just five.

He looked in the boy’s eyeball, and spat.

‘Friend, this is the end!’

And the captain waved the fact that this frenemy was also his kinsman.

Now the next moment, the man threw back his hand and yank off three spears from the soldiers standing behind him.

One was his. Another his aide’s. Then the third belonged to the man who led them there.

So Joab stood beneath the prince; and with a fury that frightened all, he thrust the three brass in the young man’s chest. Then he took steps back and asked his men to hack him all over.

Absalom was killed, and butchered, and hacked like a foe. Then Joab commanded the trumpeters to blow the sound of triumph.

That day it was a loud shout of victory within David’s camp. But when the king heard about it, he cried his lungs out and grieved.

‘Ah my son Absalom—my son, my son Absalom—if only I had died in your place! Ah Absalom my son, my son!’

Thus within a span, the bliss of that victory turned a grief in Israel. But only the king knew the pain of that grief.

For it is grief, indeed, when the Sons of Good choose to be of Evil.

Nay, it is the mother of all grief.

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...
