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 chest and stammered through the start.

‘Fifteen—fifteen years ago... my... my father—’

A ball of tear had appeared in his eye, his clear eyes were turning ember and his bright face growing pale.

He was breaking down in front of two young kids. But this was his last stop, so he wouldn’t care.

Now the tear began to roll down and the man left it so. For as the waters rolled, his burdens rolled down and this was his story.

Maqwela dropped his head in a big bow, went lame with sorrows then pulled a long groan in his throat.

Vickie looked to Nile and gestured with a nod.

So Nile got the call and closed his eyes, as he began to coo a low hum to the piece called ‘Peace’ – in When You Seized Me, Peace.

Within half a moment Vickie joined, for the bright girl shut her eyes as she parted their gentle symphony...

And she took this part with a slender hum.

The duet voices meld in one and rose in the monarch’s ears like a soothing piece with arms of embrace.

Maqwela stopped and just shivered through the rest of the time. When the music was done, he stayed a moment then raised his head.

He clamped his hands and sighed.

‘I am sick,’ he said. ‘I am very sick, and I need your help. I need your music.

‘I know you are kids and I shouldn’t be doing this to you. But I am desperate.

‘In 15 years, I have searched for a cure for my sickness. But there was none, because it wasn’t sickness.

‘I have searched a cure for long. And then I found your music and it cured me, but I’m not sure.

‘I guessed it cured me but hasn’t returned me back to me. I guessed I was cured but I’m not whole.

‘When I heard your music last week, something happened that never happened in 15 years.

‘My crisis was about to start again, and then it disappeared into thin air just when you started.

‘It has never happened before that I’d see crisis come and it wouldn’t live out its time.

‘Yet when I heard your music, that kind of wonder happened.’

He looked at them.

‘I have tasted how sweet it is to be rescued last week, but I doubt I am fully well. I dread having to see this thing back.’

He finished. ‘You will never know, kids. But I am really very sick!’

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...
