Sons of the Flaming Throne 3 – Ch. 7 | KT OLLA

A YOUNG pretty lass garbed in a flowing dress came running through the lanes of the palace complex, the edge of her dress gathered up in her hand as she sped.

The girl was barefooted, but beautiful. She was stunning in appearance, yet was running.

She was the sort that’d cause quite a stir in the streets, as heads turned to see her pass.

But she was a nameless one in Israel. A slave.

Porah the Egyptian, as she was often called, flew with a windy flight towards the court of the Seventh Prince within the palace.

This was the first time that the young maiden would be privileged to step around there. The first time, in fact, that she’d be honoured to see the prince up close.

So Porah got herself donned in her best apparel, broke her ointment jar she’d kept for a day to remember, and perfumed herself with the scent of a Nubian princess.

Now she hastened towards the chosen prince of David. Towards that great heir called Solomon.

It was the same hour of morning when Nathan had gone visiting the queen consort. Yet the two had just rounded up their talk, so they were then on to the king’s court.

That morning, Prince Solomon got a great knock on his door, an urgent one that roused him to work.

And when he came up to receive the guest, he was hit and surprised at what he saw. Then the guest was struck with darts at whom she found.

There on both sides of the divide stood two parties. There between outdoor and indoor stood beauties that wouldn’t meet.

The doors opened, and the Egyptian’s eyes popped and blinked and glared. She’d never seen a man so stunning that he was blinding.

She just gasped under her breath, ‘Ah, take me in!’

Well, Solomon said something, too. Yes, the man heard those words in whispers which were too tempting to unhear. 

He saw a girl so bare and beautiful that her raised brows and bare legs invited him.

He saw a girl that had just run to him, and still she was stunning.

However when Solomon heard the words of her fancy, he feared so much that he might grant those fancies.

So he trembled and prayed, ‘Help me, God!’

Right after, the young prince spoke up. It was with a matter-of-fact tone of voice.

‘Who do you seek, young woman? Or what is your business here?’

It was with intention that he avoided to ask her, ‘What can I do for you?’

Porah was quite knocked back to reality, for she wouldn’t be standing there if the queen hadn’t sent her.

So she cleared herself at once. ‘I am here with urgent news from the queen, Your Highness. The queen consort sent me to tell you this—’

The prince stopped her. ‘Wait a moment, is my mother all right? Is she safe and well?’

‘Yes, Your Highness; Her Majesty is well as of now. And may the Lord your God keep her safe!’

Solomon looked at the lass and liked the wit in her manner of speech. Her words were graceful and mature, and carefully sorted. So they put his mind at rest.

But still the young man had a concern; the cautious one faced the pressing thing:

The queen has never sent her maidservants to me before...

Then if she’s sending someone to me now—and so early at dawn for that matter, it means there’s a situation, a big one at that!

So the prince asked aloud, ‘If the queen is well right now, then what is the problem? Tell me; I’m listening!’

Now he braced himself to take the news.

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.

🛡️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...
