WHO WHAT?
How did the world come about? Big Bang? Or God’s creation?
How did this cup come about? Big bang or man’s creation?
DOES GOD EXIST?
Ever wondered how creation came about? The endless debates between intelligent design (God's creation), Darwin's Theory and the Big Bang have been ongoing through the ages. But we're not debating. We're showing you what's been documented through history, and you be the judge :)
If there was no moon, our earth would spin TOO fast.
humans would NOT SURVIVE. WHO KNEW?
God knew, because on the fourth day of creation…
God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. – Genesis 1:16
Every person has a unique tongue print.
WHO MADE YOU UNIQUE?
For you (God) created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb – Psalm 139:13
An average human scalp has 100,000 hairs.
SOMEONE KNOWS THE EXACT NUMBER OF HAIRS ON YOUR HEAD.
Jesus once said...
“Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered.” – Luke 12:7a
BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO SHRUG OFF THE CREDIBILITY OF GOD BEING THE CREATOR, ASK YOURSELF: WHAT IF ALL THESE ARE TRUE?
Every day is about 55 billionths of a second longer than the day before it. WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR DAYS?
As for man, his days are like grass, he flourishes like a flower of the field; the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more. – Psalm 103:15-16
Surely you were made for something that would count even after death. What is this something?
If you met God, WHAT WOULD YOU ASK HIM?
Would you ask why God allows pain and suffering of the innocent? Would you ask why God doesn’t choose to reveal himself on earth so that everyone would then finally believe?
DON’T BE TOO QUICK TO DENY SOMETHING YOU HAVE YET TO FIND OUT ENOUGH ABOUT. THINK ABOUT IT. ASK QUESTIONS.
AND THAT’S WHAT WE’RE HERE FOR.

OCF Clayton Prayer Requests Feb 2010
*OCF Clayton's Prayer Requests (Feb 2010)*
Hey WA & Vic peoples,
The start of Feb is here and so it's time to get the ball rolling with our prayers, lifting them up to the Lord because we believe that He hears our prayers yes?
- For the committee as we seek God on the *theme for 2010* - need His wisdom and guidance for direction. May we be united in one spirit under one Lord.
- For Claytonites to really *yearn for God*. Sometimes without (regular) OCF during the holidays, we tend to be distracted, "drift" a bit and lose focus. Instead of only getting "back on track" when they're back in Australia, we want them to start *anticipating, getting excited for the things God is going to do* in the year ahead, even before they return.
Shall we also remember *EXCO* in our prayers? Many times we don't see what's going on behind-the-scenes so it can be easy to forget what our leaders are going through. But there really is so much to be done, and 1 Tim 2 encourages us to pray for our leaders. Let's pray for God's wisdom and strength for them, and that they will be leaders who lead by example - HUP – with Humility, Unity and Perseverance, as shared by Cheryl Weng during AGM09.
Just something I read earlier today from 1 John 5:14-15 *"This is the confidence we have in approaching God; that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us - whatever we ask - we know that we have what we asked of Him."*
Look forward to hearing from us all! God bless.
:) In His love,
OCF Clayton

SUMMER UPDATES!
We praise God that the 3 centres in WA have continued to meet to pray weekly. It is our prayer that the God remains the center of our lives even in the midst of holidays and festivities. Do not let the hustle and bustle of life overwrite what is important! Jesus has promised "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness;
and all these things shall be added unto you. (Matthew 6:33).
'How do I do that???', you may ask. Well, here are a list of practical steps to keep walking closely to God each day even when you're overseas:

'How do I do that???', you may ask. Well, here are a list of practical steps to keep walking closely to God each day even when you're overseas:
- meet up with your prayer buddy to pray
- be accountable to your prayer buddy: let him/her know how you have been doing, what he/she can pray for you about. (SMS, E-MAIL, MEET-UP, SKYPE, etc!)
- get to know the God you love through the bible: when was the last time you did your devotion?
- wake up, sit up, and commit the day to God in a prayer. It doesn't have to be long, just talk to God- He listens.
