Knighted Again – Ch.36 | KT OLLA

SAND and Muse performance came to an end with a standing ovation. Yet there was no fanfare or any effort to scream raving cheers.

It was a piece of everyone’s story. And each person standing felt like musing on.

Samba George was equally musing in the audience. She was seated in the event married already.

Samba was there with her husband to see their friends perform. She’d just been wedded to Collins.

Now while Nile and Vickie were away, the lady had got a new employment and had gone on to wed.

Then the musicians had returned to work with a new staff as their manager.

Yet Samba and Collins wouldn’t stop gushing over the duo. They had remained top fans.

So it was time to announce the Crown Prince. And along with announcing him, the king would be revealing Zadeque.

He’d been prepared for this day in the past one year. For he’d be decorated alongside his son. 

Now King Maqwela I of the Cape Island Kingdom mounted the stage as the people settled down.

He addressed the assembly with a smile.

‘People of our noble heritage young and old, great and small:

‘It is no news today that Maqwela I of this great kingdom has no one to call heir.

‘It is equally no news that I was going to be the first king to have no child from my line to succeed me.

‘Indeed, the Almighty has blessed us with everything that makes for life. But it is this bundle of joy He has held back.

‘Nevertheless, as we say, the sky does not burn with fire without wetting the ground too. So also the God of Heaven has left me a successor in a kindred arms.

‘There is my one and only brother, the older one of my father’s sons.

‘He had ceded the throne to me when my father Chaka-Hulu III of yesterday, joined our ancestors.

‘He was away for some reasons and is back now with a wife and a prince.

‘I spoke with him when I saw the promising boy.

‘The prince is a replica of my brother, so I love him.

‘So, I spoke to him that he should let his son be my heir, as I value his sacrifice in ceding the throne to me.

‘No, I didn’t order this great man – I begged him!

‘I believe that Heaven designed his return to us.’

The King paused a second to mark reactions. The people were curious.

So he resumed.

‘Prince Zadeque is the name of this selfless man. And he agreed that I adopt his son as mine.

‘His son is Zadeque Junior and today we name him Crown Prince.

‘And for the sacrifice of a man with a heart of gold, we award the Senior Zadeque with a royal laurel.

‘We name him the King Lieutenant of Basini Isle, Royal representative of our reign in capital!’

The people applauded at that point. It was their acceptance of the man.

Now the noble position of King Lieutenant in the island nation was first used by the country’s first king, the Chaka-Hulu I.

The title was the variant of top state positions as Lord Lieutenant in some present day kingdoms and the lieutenant governor in some republics.

It meant, in Cape Island, an associate of the monarchy standing in for him in civil affairs in any of its five islets.

So, King Maqwela called over the royal family of honour... the King Lieutenant and his wife Princess Yalowe.

The couple walked in bearing their baby, Crown Prince Zadeque the Younger.

The call was soaring and the people rose to cheer.

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...
