Knighted Again – Ch.28 | KT OLLA

MAQWELA didn’t know about the experience that transformed his brother. He couldn’t think of wellness for a man under lock.

So when he narrated how Zadeque had faked passing out just in a bid to stop the assault, it didn’t occur to him that a sick man wouldn’t have thought to do that.

Even so, the king broke down and cried so much. He cried for his bad actions.

His listening guests felt that he’d asked them a tough thing. Especially now that he told them his bad deeds.

Still they were human and he shared with them something worse. It hurt them that a man was that evil.

Now when Maqwela raised his gaze to listen, it was Nile who answered him. Then his answer came as a shock.

The king had asked if they still felt he could be forgiven. So Nile took over now. He surprised him.

‘You may not get Heaven’s pardon, Your Majesty!’

Maqwela was stunned at that. He wiped the tears off his face and looked up immediately.

He didn’t expect to hear those words. Those words that sentenced him.

But then Nile added: ‘That is what every person will say!’

The ruler sat upright when he heard this. There was a glint of hope in those last words. He was now humble then curious.

Nile leaned towards the man. ‘Your Majesty, that is what anybody will say! But thank God, Jesus isn’t anybody!

‘He says “Come” to the most evil person. Then when they turn to Him, He changes them!

‘Only Jesus the Saviour loves people that much!’

Maqwela leaned back and breathed a sigh. He was finding hope in the boy’s words.

Nile showed him a parallel at that point.

He explained, ‘Your Majesty, it is you our fathers who tell us that a mother’s labour pains at delivery are often unbearable.

‘You also tell us that if she will deliver her baby naturally, then the pain can’t be helped.

‘In fact, we learn that men can hardly endure a mother’s pain. Still a mother will cherish that baby she bled over!

‘In fact, when she recalls her pain, she wants the child more!

‘She doesn’t want to throw them away. She wants them to grow!’

Maqwela looked at Nile and gazed. He hadn’t heard this from that angle before.

His partner Vickie also gazed at him. She knew he was correct on those points.

The young preacher hit it. ‘That is what it is with Jesus the Saviour! He will not cast off anyone that He shed His blood over!

‘It is only when we trample down His grace like bastards and not children that we know we have cast ourselves outside!

‘Your Majesty, man sinned and fell from the very start.

‘But God came in the form of mortal man and sacrificed Himself for us.

‘Jesus Christ came as the Express Image of God, so we can be restored to being God’s image just like Him.

‘He is called God the Son but He became Son of Man, so that we sons and daughters of Adam can become children of God!

‘Jesus laboured and suffered to the point of death. So that He can restore man to God’s sons and daughters!

‘And just like a mother won’t throw away her child because of the labour pains, Jesus Christ won’t cast us away when we cling to Him!

‘We are those children He laboured over!’

Maqwela couldn’t wait any longer.

‘Can you please pray for me? I want this life of God’s children too. Please pray for me, my friends!’

That day, Heaven chose to free a mind without the aid of melody or medicine.

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...
