Knighted Again – Ch.10 | KT OLLA

WADIBE was stuck on a place in his text, so he asked the lay reader to read through.

The lady went through the part again.

...that they should seek the Lord, in the hope  they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us.

The preacher resumed and blared out loud.

‘Yes, God wants you to only seek – because that kind starts from the heart!

‘For when you seek, you go beyond your efforts! You are yearning. You are longing to find. You are groping for Him!

‘It is with the heart that man seeks.’

He paused, then explained.

‘You see… a woman doesn’t search for the fruit of the womb. Because she almost cannot do anything about it.

‘A woman seeks the blessing which a union gives; and hopes, yearns and prays for it.

‘She seeks, because it is the gift of God!’

‘So also, God is spirit and those who reach to Him must do so with true hearts! He desires truth in the inward parts.’

He closed on this: ‘Our physical efforts that have no spiritual rooting is vain, as faith must begin from the heart.

‘Why, worship is merely ritual when it comes from the lips, rather than from the heart.

‘Again, service is eye service when we serve to make statement like the men of Athens...

‘Like in the case of Babel!

‘And Adam’s Babels and ladders can only lead down. Down to point zero!’

There were some laden sighs in the assembly, and Nile sat crushed by the words of the sermon.

The boy saw passion and power and fire in his father’s words. So he wanted to know the God his father knew.

That evening, the 15-year-old chose to let go of the grudge he had for the older man. For he knew the man didn’t know his thoughts, and yet he spoke to his heart.

Now Nile started to yearn for an essence in life and destiny. He started to approach worship the right way and seek to know God as Father.

Then divine providence reached down to earth and found him. For that year the Wadibes moved fully to Cape Islands.

It was for Nile to meet with destiny.

Knighted Again – Ch.13 | KT OLLA

MAQWELA caught the smile on Nile’s face as he turned back to him. He knew why the boy smiled, yet he liked him more. Those were some things of innocence that he missed. The king liked people who wouldn’t cower when he used power. Unlike how he’d tremble as a boy when his late father abused the right. Yes, he liked folks who still retained their peace as they grew. Like those cute youngsters listening to him. So the monarch resumed, but he preferred to go the earnest way. ‘Now like I said earlier, that nobody enters here except Maqwela passes them – you must also know that nobody hears the things I’ll be speaking now unless we tell them! ‘Now I know you’re smart enough to know what I said – and what I left unsaid!’ The duo braced up and gestured with a nod. They knew the weight of that sentence and were ready to keep the monarch’s secret. They knew they were about to hear a blast. And so they braced up for it. Right then the middle-aged heaved a deep breath, crossed his arms over his ch...

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...

Wanted Here – Ch.23 | KT OLLA

BEAKERS broke and crashed on the ground. So the splinters went littering the laboratory. Still the one who caused the damage only stood and watched… And then she walked out of the place without looking back. It was as if the 28-year-old didn’t cared a moment. But she cared too much she cried a bucket. June Martinez had stepped in her laboratory right behind her home. It was a facility sitting on an acre of land that equally hosted their large villa. The property was both home and office to the brilliant couple. They had their villa furnished with everything comfort. Then they got two labs built into a structure behind it. With only a glass partition in-between. Carl did his work in one part of the structure, while June used the other part as her laboratory. Now it’d been quite a while June had wanted to return to her lab. She once only talked about getting back and wouldn’t dare to step a foot in the lab. Then months passed and she made more progress. She got to put on her coat to retu...
