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 055 You have sown much, and bring in little; You eat, but do not have enough; You drink, but you are not filled with drink; You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm; And he who earns wages, Earns wages [to put] into a bag with holes HAGGAI 1:6NKJV). CONSIDER YOUR WAYS! Bros sounds like maybe this could be any one of our current life stories- right? Always lacking it seems; never enough and always wanting just a little more This is where one would have to consider their ways as the Lord has Haggai tell the remnant hey wake up and stop being so concerned with your own homes. They were engulfed in making sure their homes were beautified and kind of gave up on the Lords Sanctuary. They were totally caught up in their personal needs and wants and just put the things of God on the back burner Bros it is only when we put God first in our lives, our affairs and above everything else or in the correct priority will He bless our labor. It is only when the remnant sees the task God has put before them and completes the task He has put before them will He bless their labor once again. So true for us too! We get side tracked on our priorities and pretty soon if we consider our ways we can notice how seemingly out of nowhere our flesh has gained prominence in our lives and became our main priority and God somehow ended up in last place in our priority list and then we went on cruise control and woke up lacking and wondering what happened It is so easy for us to take our eyes off the Prize, to slow down in the race, to look back to see how far ahead we are only to discover we missed the mark, we veered off course because we were looking in the wrong direction for blessing and to the wrong things for fulfillment of the things we need in our lives "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you (Matthew 6:33 NKJV). Bros God knows we have need and we only need to look to Him and Consider Our Ways to see where we are in our priorities and to see where we have placed God in the priorities of our lives- amen! Agape,
Daniel Wright Iron Man Oikodome Proverbs 27:17
