Pane ■^-Carolina Indian Voice-Thursdav, November 17,1994 The Sunday School Lesson by John R. Brayboy. Salem Missionary Baptist Chyrch Living Wisely (1 Kings 9:1-3.10:1- 7. 23-24) I. God's Second Appearance to Solomon I Kings 9:1-3 II. The Queen of Sheba's Visit to Solomon III. Solomon's Wealth, Wisdom, and Splendor I Kings 10:22-23 Allow me to take a moment and reflect on the sheriffs election. I thank God for the election of Bro. Glenn Maynor as Sheriff. I believe that it was ordained of God. I am thankful that God hears thecries of His people when they are of a broken and contrite spirit. To God be the gloiy for the election of Glenn Maynor as Sheriff, not tak ing an>ihing away from the hard work that was put in it. But without God's approval it would have all been in vain. Now I urge every Christian to continue to pray for Sheriff Maynor that God will’give Him the wisdom he needs to serve Robeson County's people well. 11. God's Second Appearance to Solomon 1 King 9:1-3 God had promised David that his son Solomon would build a house of worship for Him. David was denied the desire of building God's House because of the blood shed during his life. Now Solomon had built the house of the Lord, and for the. second time God appeared to him. God told Solomon He had heard his prayer and supplication at the dedication of the House of the Lord. Solomon had interceded on behalf of the people of God to forgive them when they erred, if they would repent. God told Solomon that He would make His house holy and that His presence would be perpetual. Now God had a permanent dwelling place in the midst ofthe nation ofisrael. Today God dwells in the heart of His people who have accepted Him as personal savior. II. The Queen of Sheba Visits Solomon I Kings 1-7) The news of Solomon's wisdom and wealth spread far and wide. The news caught the ears of the Queen of Sheba and peeked her curiosity. It seemed hard for the Queen to believe the stories she had heard about Solomon, so she went to see for herself She came with gifts to ensure that she got an audience with King Solomon. The Queen of Sheba had some hard questions to ask the King to see if he was all that people said he was. Sometimes Christians arc put to the test by the world to see if their faith is what they claim it is. Solomon had asked God for the one thing every Christian needs to ask of God, and that is wisdom. When the Queen of Sheba ques tioned Solomon, he answered all her questions and hid nothing from her. When we are witnessing to lost people about their soul, we need to be wise in the word of God so that we can tell them what lis right, without them being confused. God had blessed Solomon not only because of the Davidic Covenant, but because he was pleasing to God. When we live in the wisdom of God, we will be pleasing to God. When the Queen of Sheba saw firsthand the wisdom of Solomon. In the Armed Forces all of his wealth and the splendor of his house, and the Lord's house, she was astounded. Literally, it look her breath, and she was speechless. Sometimes what we hear we find hard to believe; we have to see for ourselves. The Queen of Sheba had heard about Solomon and was skeptical so she went to see with her own eyes. She had heard about the God ofisrael and the things he had done in Israel. Brethren, we ought to live our lives in such a way that God will be manifested through out lives. The Queen of Sheba cer tainly saw more than she hard heard or expected Her response was that the half had not been told about Solomon"s wisdom and fame. Ill. Solomon's Wealth. Wisdom and Splendor God had blessed Solomon as promised. The prominent features of his reign as king was his wisdom and wealth. No other king at that time had more wealth or was wiser than Solomon. Rulers fromall over came to Solomon for wisdom, and he recognized that the wisdom he had came from God. What Ameri can needs to be seeking for today for answers to its problems is godly men of wisdom. In the New Testa ment. Jesus said seek ye first the kingdom of God and all these other things will be added unto you. It is a wise man w ho seeks Jesus. Are you looking to Jesus for the answer to your problems or looking for answers in worldly wisdom? The wise answer to the problems we face today can and w ill be found in the wisdom of God. Until next week. God bless you. Julian (r^^R^ers Forum D Change Brought to Robeson With Real Votes by Real People Dear Ms Conncc. Thank the Good Lord.

Lumbenon. recently participated in an his torical decommissioning ceremony while serving as one of final crew members of the j8-vcar-old aircraft carrier USS Saratoga. Oxendine was one more than 2.000 sail ors and Marines who took part in the cer emony heldinMaypon, Fla., which marked the end of one of the first "supier" carriers built after World War II. Commissioned April U. 1956. "Super Sara" patrolled the waters off Guantanamo Bay.. Cuba, during the Cuban Missile Crists of 1962: launched countless aircraft against the North v/ietnamese in 1972. and played a vital role in the capture of the luxurv liner Achilla Lauro hijackers in 1995. More recently. Oxendine and the crew of the 1.063-foot-iong aircraft carrier spent two months off the coast of the former Yugoslavia supporting international sanc tions in Bosnia-Herzegovma. After leaving the Adriatic Sea. Oxendine joined ships from 12 other nations for a large-scale exer cise in the Eastern Mediterranean. One of USS Saratoga’s most memorable deployments began August 7. 1990. just days after Iraqui tanks invaded Kuwait. "Super Sara" took up station in the Red Sea and six months later when Operation Desert Shield became Operation Desert Storm, her aircraft began an air campaign against Iraq which would last more than seven months. USS Saratoga is just one of many older Navy ships being decommissioned. They are being replaced by- fewer but more ca pable ships. Equipped with the latest tech nology. the newer ships will require highly motivatedand skilled young menand women like O.xendine to operate them. The 1990 graduate of South Robeson Hi^ School of Rowland, NC joined the Navy in August 1990. Uoicel 521-2826 to Subscribe Reader is Thankful for The Lumhee People Dear Carolina Indian Voice, As Thanksgiving nears I search for what I am thankful for: The memories of my grandmother and mother (God Rest Their Souls), Aunts and Uncles. Sisters and Brothers, and Cousins. Nieces, and Nephews, and friends. And then 1 ask the Lord why he has moved me to a place where people have no chance to improve, w here politics over rules the w'hole being of a land, where greed, lies and uncaring occurs. I ask why Lord, bring me to a land where freedom of speech is not allowed. where fear sets within the hearts of the worker, and why information between two people are based on political gain. Then 1 think of my people strong, determined and willing to do the best for the people as a w hole. To unite and stand together, yes I'm Thankful, very thankful for my people. But Lord what can I do for this place you have moved me to? As my mind and hea^earch I can only hope that my pt Lumbee Indians) do not end up in the greed and political ruling as the people (Cherokee) West of them have. Am I thankful? Yes I'm thankful for my family and my raising and I'm thankful for my husband and his family. But this Thanksgiving I'm not thankful for what the po litical people aredoing to the North Carolina Cherokee Indian People. So as the Lord would have me do 1 am asking for you. my people to set aside what you have alwavs heard and say a prayer for the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indian people. And why do 1 ask this of you? Before Washington politics and Pembrole,N( Federal and Slate Kecogniiioii.i united and helped each other the means ofjiisl knovvingweivc neighbors. Thank You. Sincerely. L O.xcndine-Taylor.
