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.

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...
