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 023 "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men .(Matthew 5:13(NKJV) SHINE ON Bros as a likeness to salt we are not to lose our flavor or ability or to become useless or in effective and discarded, powerless, overtaken by the things of this world, to retreat and even though rejected by those we are called to be a witness to. Just as salt enhances and brings out the flavor. We are called to bring out our witness to the world for them to see Jesus in us and through us. "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden (Matthew 5:14 NKJV). You cant hide a City up on a hill- it is visible for all to see, it stands out. It is above everything else, Jesus is above all creation! How can we hide Him, if we are repn Him We should stand out like that City on the hill- obvious to all that Jesus is in our hearts. "Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all [who are] in the house (Matthew 5:15 NKJV). There would be no purpose to light a lamp and then hide the light it emits So why would we hide our relationship with Jesus or our witness of Jesus in our hearts to the whole world "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven (Matthew 5:16 NKJV). Bros, we need to stand out, to be lit up for our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus. It ought to be obvious to all and everywhere we go, whether out with our families, hanging with bros in the Lord, or with work associates, driving on the freeway, at school or the beach or even on vacation, Bros our light should be shining brightly and without mistake who we are repn and why- Amen! May God the Father be glorified in your life today as your light shines for Him
