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 015 "But beware lest somehow this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to those who are weak (1 Corinthians 8:9NKJV). LIBERTY Bros notice how Paul refers to the liberty of eating of things offered to idols as this liberty of yours meaning it is not everybodys liberty If we do have the freedom to do anything should not all our freedoms or liberties honor and love God and also not be a stumbling block to the weaker brother in that area. It seems for us in our technologically advanced age in which we live those stumbling blocks are more visible and out in the open. Folks that use electronic devices are more readily showing pictures of where they are hanging out, what they are wearing, where and what they are eating & drinking, you see them sitting at tables loaded down with all kinds of food and drinks You see stuff in the backgrounds of those pictures that makes you wonder Some are very surprising to say the least and this does not make them all bad or sin, but leaves an allusion in the viewers mind and thoughts. Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares [us], and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us (Hebrews 12:1 NKJV), We have the liberty to worship God in all we do and all we say and all we think and all we post and we ought to use our liberties to honor and love God in all our ways acknowledge Him. In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths (Proverbs 3:6 NKJV). We all fall short of the glory for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23 NKJV), Let today be the day For He [is] our God, And we [are] the people of His pasture, And the sheep of His hand. Today, if you will hear His voice (Psalm 95:7 NKJV): Bros first we have to hear and recognize His voice- sheep know their Shepherds voice, it is what we do when we hear His voice, how we respond to His voice- is He speaking to you today in this liberty of yours. Use that liberty of yours and every liberty to honor and love God and to be a witness for His Kingdom and to live the Christian life He has called us to live, Lord help us all this day and everyday to put all the liberties we have into living the Christian life letting the Spirit rule and be the men that You have called us all to be in Your name we prayAmen! Agape,
