Knighted Again – Ch.24 | KT OLLA

IT was a special morning for Maqwela at his palace. Sand and Muse returned for their assignment with the ruler.

The music stars were in a private talk with him. They were seated with him inside the secured hall where he’d had a talk with them before.

It was the place with a secret pass into Zadeque’s. The prince lived in an adjourning cottage which the pass opened to. 

So in their talk, Nile and Vickie told the monarch about salvation through Jesus.

They told him that it was Jesus who had touched him through their music. That He’ll always restore wholeness to those who’d be grateful to Him.

They told the monarch that Jesus was ready to give him a second touch and make him well. That the man needed to turn his life to Him.

Maqwela smiled at the friends and said no. He gave a reason that surprised the two.

 ‘I know your Jesus… probably more than you think I do. I know He pardons sins – I’ve heard it many times before.

‘See, if I was to be talking with other people, I’d just have told them that I’m also Christian – I go to church at least.

‘But you kids are my friends, so I’ll just tell you my truth.’

He sat up and spoke. ‘You see, I can’t turn my life over to Him. I’ve done so much evil in this life. So much for any good man to forgive!

‘So tell me, how can Jesus Christ take me?’

He stressed, ‘If there are boundaries to evil, I think I have crossed all boundaries…

‘So I don’t think Jesus will save someone like me!’

Vickie spoke up at that point.

‘Your Royal Majesty, it is not a question of how many or little our bad deeds are…

‘If we desperately want God’s pardon and we don’t return anymore, then Jesus can write a new story for us.

‘He is Saviour because we are sinners!’

Maqwela looked at her and sighed. He wished he could find that life where things were starting again.

Where he could laugh and smile without using a mask. Where he could lead his life in all its fullness from then on.

He wished to start anew… but he’d lost hope.

He spoke now: ‘I will tell you the least of what I can say. Then you can tell me if you still think God can save me!’

Nile and Vickie were surprised. They exchange a puzzled glance. It was as though they spoke their thoughts out when they looked to each other and sighed.

Come, how can someone defend his crimes so much, when he’s the same person lamenting them?

But who looks for proofs that he can’t be pardoned? Who hates what is good this plenty much?

The young duo thought about it, and at first it didn’t make sense.

But then they found it and smiled. They heard the heart that pumped those queries.

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 – 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...

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...
