Share a story.. :)

The Old Man, the Shotgun and Three Bullets

There was once a man who had nothing for his family to eat. He had an old shotgun and three bullets. So, he decided that he would go out and kill something to eat (he had all he needed) for dinner. As he went down the road, he saw a rabbit and he shot at the rabbit and missed it. Then he saw a squirrel and fired a shot at the squirrel and missed it. As he went further, he saw a wild turkey in the tree and he had only one bullet, but a voice came to him and said "pray first, aim high and stay focused." However, at the same time, he saw a deer which was a better kill. He brought the gun down and aimed at the deer. But, then he saw a rattle snake between his legs about to bite him - so he naturally brought the gun down further to shoot the rattle snake. Still, the voice said again to him, "I said 'pray first, aim high and stay focused."' So, the man decided to follow the voice. He prayed, then aimed the gun high up in the tree and shot the wild turkey. The bullet bounced off the turkey and killed the deer. The handle fell off the gun and hit the snake in the head and killed it. And, when the gun had gone off, it knocked him into a pond of water. When he got up to look around, he had fish in all his pockets, a dead deer and turkey to eat. The snake (e.g. Satan) was dead simply because the man listened to God: pray first, aim high and stay focused.

Bottom line:
Pray first before you do anything, aim and shoot high in your goals, and stay focused on God.
Faith is not the absence of doubt, but a step taken in spite of doubt.
A faith that hasn't been tested, can't be trusted.
Faith is daring the soul to go beyond what the eyes can see.

Philippians 3:13-14

Lyrics for "God of My Forever"

Yesterday, Pst Yang played a CD frm City Harvest..sound super nice..i have loaded on the website. For benefit of all...below is the lyrics of the song ! :)

GOD OF MY YOUTH I REMEMBER
YOUR CALL ON MY LIFE TOOK ME OVER
YOUR LOVE HAS SEEN ME THROUGH ALL MY DAYS
I STAND HERE BY YOUR GRACE

ON THIS ALTAR I'VE WRITTEN MY LIFE
TELL OF THE STORY I HAVE WITH YOU
MY LORD I WANT THE WORLD TO KNOW

GOD OF MY FOREVER AND FOREVER I'M WITH YOU
MY LIFE IS SAVED WITH A PRICE
YOUR SACRIFICE REDEEMED MY SOUL

GOD OF MY FOREVER AND FOREVER I WILL SING
MY GREATEST HONOR WILL ALWAYS BE
TO SERVE MY LORD AND KING

GOD OF MY LIFE I SURRENDER
MY HEART FINDS ITS REST IN YOUR WORD
PRAISES WILL NOT BE ENOUGH TO SHOW
HOW MY LOVE FOR YOU HAS GROWN

NOTHING MATTERS WHEN YOU’RE HERE WITH ME
IN THE END JUST TO HEAR YOU SAY “WELL DONE”
BOWING BEFORE YOUR THRONE

FOREVER AND EVER
JESUS YOU ALONE IN GLORY REIGN
FOREVER AND EVER WITH YOU I’LL WALK THIS NARROW WAY
