<div class="SSN_intro">Intro: The visit of the Queen of Sheba - journeyed 1500 miles one way. 75 days. Came to prove him with hard questions. Christ mentioned her coming. Her astonishment of Solomon - wisdom - house that he build - meat of his table...10 fat oxen, 20 oxen from the fields, 100 sheep plus harts, bucks & fallow deer & fatted fowls daily. His servants, ministers & cup bearers, his ascent to the house of the Lord. "No more spirit in her."</div>
<div class="SSN_rnum">I. "BLESSED BE JEHOVAH THY GOD."</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">A. Solomon a very gifted man. God gave him wisdom.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Naturalist, botanist, zoologist.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Prolific writer; 1005 songs, 3000 proverbs.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">3. Not the least of these gifts was his ability to manifest them in such a way that men glorified in Jehovah the source and not in man, the instrument.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Should people say "you are a marvelous teacher" (O God where did I fail?).</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. "God has anointed you to teach." (thank you Father).</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">c. You're on dangerous ground when people start to tell you how wonderful you are.</div>
<div class="SSN_level5">1. Danger of believing it.</div>
<div class="SSN_level5">2. There must be too much of me & not enough of Him coming through.</div>
<div class="SSN_level5">3. Reporter, "To what do you attribute the success of the church?"</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">B. Jesus said, "Ye are the light of the world."</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. He established the Christian as a light.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. A light has one essential purpose: to give forth light.</div>
<div class="SSN_level5">1. If it fails in its purpose, it is useless.</div>
<div class="SSN_level5">2. There is nothing quite so useless as that person who has taken the name Christian, but is failing to give forth light.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Christ told of difficulty or folly of hiding light.</div>
<div class="SSN_level5">1. "Men do not light candles & then put them under bushel."</div>
<div class="SSN_level5">2. "A city set on a hill cannot be hid" why?</div>
<div class="SSN_level5">3. You as a Christian are bound to be obvious in this dark world.</div>
<div class="SSN_level5">4. A true conversion experience is bound to show. How is it to show?</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">C. "Let your light so shine," That when they see your good works...glorify God.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. There are ways of doing my works that draw attention to me.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Jesus warned of manner of giving, praying, & fasting.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Human nature in me desires recognition.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">c. I like the plaque "He's a real man of prayer" "He walks close to God."</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. We need to take care in relating our experiences.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Sometimes my side gets more attention than God's side.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. "When I laid my hands on them I..."</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. My prayers never healed anything. My witnessing never saved anybody. My preaching never stirred a soul. God is the one who healed... saved... stirred. Use this instrument. Praise His Name.</div>
