Knighted Again – Ch.8 | KT OLLA

WHEN the Wadibes settled in the war-torn zone of South Sudan, they couldn’t raise Nile with undivided attention.

The middle-aged parents had thought they were done with childbearing, then Nile came from the excitement of the new place.

Reverend and Mrs Wadibe felt quite a bit embarrassed when they settled in the war zone to help give relief only to be surprised by joy...

No, the couple wasn’t so happy.

But then it didn’t take long before the family of 7 left Sudan for elsewhere. As the parents of 5 kids admitted they couldn’t keep the work there.

So the newly born had just begun to crawl when the family thought to travel to Swaziland in the southern parts of Africa.

It was a quieter nation than Sudan at the time, with a king and prime minister at the helm of affairs...

For it ran a monarchical parliamentary – like the Kingdom of Cape Islands.

Now Revd. Wadibe secured his mobilization to Swaziland in southern Africa...

He was serving as a global evangelist for an American mission. So he was sent over there to help the church start more branches.

The Wadibes spent quite a few months preparing for their flight...

But by the time they left for the new place, Nile had skipped crawling and leaning to stand. He just stood and tottered forwards.

Still, only Nile’s mother was able to see him leap and walk. His father couldn’t notice.

Now the family settled and prospered in Swaziland as Philip Wadibe’s ministry became known beyond the new place.

His crusades pulled a huge crowd as the Swazis saw prayers wrought wonders.

Then the Cape Islanders, his own nation, heard about him. And the people begged to host him, too.

Mr Wadibe lingered behind till his last son finished with preschool. He waited till then before he combined the work fields.

The travelling missionary took on work in Cape Islands alongside his assignment in Swaziland.

So he divided his time between the two countries in the southern parts of Africa.

He made his family remain in the little kingdom of Swaziland, so he spent most part of his year in that country.

Nile started basic school where the family flourished in Swaziland. He grew up getting the grades and topping the class, and looking for Mr Wadibe’s attention.

Yes, the kid would blame himself for not trying so much each time. Then he’d think of what else he could try.

So, a day came when the boy turned to his father’s work as his last rescue.

He was in middle school then, so he joined the orchestral band in church and learned to play.

Nile immersed himself in playing instruments, yet Philip Wadibe didn’t give that kind of interest.

So he went on to try playing others, and the old man only smiled and wasn’t curious.

Now by the time the seeking boy left high school, he’d decided to give up on chasing his father. So he turned to chase a wayward life.

But just when he was changing paths, he found his answer in a Father, an Everlasting One.

And that answer brought him home.

To 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 – 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...
