Dear Bros in Christ,

Proverbs 27:17 As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend. Brothers in Christ, this monthly devotional is sent and meant to be an encouragement to all and to build up and edify in the Lord Jesus Christ. Oikodome means "Builder". The Lord has put this on my heart to send out a monthly Iron Man Oikodome {oy-kod-om-ay'} to build up and encourage the men who love and follow Jesus Christ in their walk with Him. Hebrews 3:13 "But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness." PRAYER REQUESTS: If you have any prayer requests please send them and I will send them out to the bros for prayer, if privacy is needed I will send in a discreet way.

IRON MAN OIKODOME BOX TOP 034 Yet I [am] the LORD your God Ever since the land of Egypt, And you shall know no God but Me; For [there is] no savior besides Me.5I knew you in the wilderness, In the land of great drought.6When they had pasture, they were filled; They were filled and their heart was exalted; Therefore they forgot Me. (Hosea 13:4-6 NKJV) THEY FORGOT ME Bros God expressed His great love for Israel and yet Israel keeps continuing on in sin and sin keeps them from remembering the One who loves them the most, their only Savior, and He blesses them in spite of their sins and promises to restore them. So to like us bros, we get blessed by God, we sometimes forget God, we forget to acknowledge Him, and we forget He is with us always, we forget to thank Him, and we might have a serious issue of lack of gratitude or gratefulness. There is no other God but our God, our Savior. He knew us when we were in those wilderness areas of our life where we felt all alone, separated and far removed from any source of help, solace or comfort that life had dealt us and no one could bring us relief, except our God. We were thirsting for the life sustaining things that seemed could not be found. Yet in the midst of our wilderness and drought experiences God was found with us and He brought great pastures that we grazed upon. We had more abundance than we could ever ask for, we lived in greatness of abundance, and our hearts were full and glad and lofty. We never had it so good and so to in those times of abundance of Gods blessings just like Israel never had it so good, God wanted to bless them and restore them and yet they forgot God. Have you ever forgotten your birthday? Exactly, that is what I thought- how could we forget our Creator? Bros this day may we be thankful and mindful of all that God is doing in our lives, all that He has done and continues to do in our lives and even all that He desires to do in our lives and that He will never leave us. May we never forget to thank Him no matter what the situation, may we be content in all situations God has placed us! 11Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: 12I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 13I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me (NKJV Philippians 4:11-13). Bros He will never leave us or forget us, so dont forget God this day! [Let your] conduct [be] without covetousness; [be] content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you (NKJV Hebrews 13:5)." Amen! Agape,
