Knighted Again – Ch.18 | KT OLLA

THROUGH their growing years, Zadeque was tutored within the palace as the possible heir of his father…

Maqwela, however, was granted the privilege to travel and train in professional studies. As well as act as the kingdom’s crown prince.

It was a dangerous race their father tossed them to.

Well, Chaka-Hulu had read the older boy before the fight. He’d seen that Zadeque wasn’t interested in the throne…

That what he wanted was being able to roam freely.

Yes, the father knew that what he wanted was freedom. Still he placed a big price on this human thirst.

‘Hold on, my boy,’ he told him one day. ‘You are meant to tour the whole world, but not without power.

‘You are meant to be an emperor. Like the great Chaka of Zulu.

‘So you must hide till I gain more nations beyond our little shores.

‘Then when I fall like all conquerors must do, you will take my throne and rule my empire like Chaka.

‘You wouldn’t have to wait for these!’

Now it was these words that turned Zadeque the fierce fighter. Still he didn’t want to lose his brother and friend.

He didn’t want to lose freedom. Nor lose Maqwela.

But then the king died with his big dreams, too. And the nation looked on to Maqwela to rule the land.

For the crown prince known to the world was Maqwela—nobody heard of a hidden prince.

Zadeque was 25 at the time and Maqwela, 22. They were barely grown for the heavy weight that came on their shoulders.

Now the entirety of Cape Islands was expecting the crown prince to be crowned as king.

But the king’s officials knew about the hidden prince, so they thought to use him to cub the heir.

Therefore the majority of the palace supported the weaker one. It was the man they could easily rule. So they made plans to crown the older boy while the nation thought of Maqwela.

But Crown Prince Maqwela held a lot of power. And he eventually came to reign as the new king of Cape Islands.

The new monarch took on the title of King Maqwela I. He threw in garbage his father’s legacy of the Chaka-Hulu.

Thus the Prince Maqwela became the king, aged 22.

Now King Maqwela I was a sovereign monarch. And he kept the right to officially reveal Prince Zadeque. 

The older one requested that his identity be revealed so he could, at least, lead a free life.

But Maqwela didn’t grant his request. He felt that his freedom would threaten his kingship. He felt Prince Zadeque would fight him for the throne.

So Zadeque would appeal to him, and Maqwela would promise to set him free.

Yet when he slept over the thought, he would return to keep him under lock. He wouldn’t keep his promise to let him go.

But this story was only a bit of the tragedy. So it wasn’t this thing that Maqwela shared with Es and Em.

He told them something else.

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.

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...
