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 073 No one can enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man. And then he will plunder his house (MARK 3:27NKJV). COMPROMISE Bros the enemy is very subtle he will bind you little by little to get in your house, just takes a little compromise then he has a toe in the door He cannot get in unless you let him enter! First satan will try to trip you up with sin and then cause you to stumble. Then he will bind one of your ankles at a time so you walk in circles in that sin. Then he will smooze you until he binds the other ankle so you are firmly caught up and walk in and or stuck in that sin. He will then bind up one arm behind your back to hold you and control you in that sin Then he will bind your free arm so that you are now totally powerless and then you will realize whats gone is your walk and relationship with Jesus, your wife, your kids, your goods and your house have been invaded and plundered Satan knows he cant get you all at once so he binds you little by littleHits the mind first with a barrage of fiery darts and sets it aflame with the lust of the sin of your choice. Until you are consumed and can longer say no or resist the sin you are bound in. A little compromise here and a little compromise there, a little folding of the hands, a little laziness in following God, reading His Word, prayer, fellowship with other believers, and next thing you know the strong man is down and bound! A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep-- So shall your poverty come on you like a prowler, And your need like an armed man (Proverbs 6:10-11 NKJV). And satan is in the house- he will plunder all you have- everything bros He comes to destroy you completely; he starts by getting you to allow a little compromise in your walk with the Lord, allow a bit of ungodliness to creep in and then the justification flows;, its ok everybody watches this or this is just harmless fun and an outlet for my stressful life, it is not hurting anyone and nobody knows this except me- famous last words Whatever it is bros that you may have allowed to creep in- here is what it is called SIN. Amazing the damage that takes place in your heart, your relationship with Jesus, your spouse, and kids, and the havoc on your home, possessions and finances and most never acknowledge it or admit it until its too lateGame Over! Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour (1Peter 5:8 NKJV). Bros there is hope- but dont play games with your relationship with the Lord, dont give one inch to the adversary he always makes sin look fun and harmless and innocent but we know better because God has taught us better, dont compromise the Gift of Jesus you have received in your life- confess your sin, repent, look to God and believe His Word the Bible and He will keep you and deliver you-amen! Agape,
