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.

Bros that moment is forever etched in my heart as one of the most heart moving, heart
warming, heart wrenching and heart convicting things that has ever happened to me. I
froze for a millisecond threw down my pencil on my plans and ran and grabbed my
daughter in my arms and said lets go get some candy. I realized through this that nothing
is more important at this time in life when our children are little, five minutes is all it took
to bless her to show her she is important to daddy and that she is loved by me and that I
have time for her. You see those days are gone now and how I wish I could go back if just
for times like this to take the time to teach my children and show them how much I love
them and how important they are to me. To spend that little extra time with them even for
the little trivial things that seem unimportant to us yet those times, those things will last a
lifetime in the memories of their hearts and ours too! Take the time to teach them these
things whether it be your children or grandchildren. Bros not that I am an expert having
mastered being a dad but as a brother in the Lord I come to you with this reminder and
encouragement to you and myself to take the time to follow this example of Gods Word-
our dad instructions that has been laid down for us…savor every moment, grab every
second to take every opportunity to do just this- “You shall teach them diligently to your
children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way,
when you lie down, and when you rise up”- (Deuteronomy 6:7 NKJV). While we still have
time before “Times Up” we need to take “Time Out” for what is really important, we only
have today to teach them and love them, for tomorrow is here sooner than we can ever
imagine should the Lord tarry… “Children are a gift from the LORD; they are a reward from
Him” (Psalm 127:3 NLT).
