Dear Bros in Christ,                                         Proverbs 27:17 As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend. Brothers in Christ, this weekly encouragement 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 105“For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.”[2Corinthians 8:9 NKJV]

“Recognizing Grace” Bros how can we not know and remember the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ? The Lord had the power and strength to do anything He wanted when He came to walk this earth. But chose to come in a lowly form and did not rely on His supernatural ability to make things easy or comfortable for Himself. When things were difficult for Him He did not call on His ability to call into existence anything or for any of the resources of all creation that He created to allow himself to live as the King of kings and Lord of lords that He was, but instead he lived in the humblest way known to man. He laid it all down for us, in His great love and affection towards us He allowed Himself to be stripped of all that should be bestowed upon Him as God in the form and flesh of man. And not only that but He took it to the lowest stature of man’s earthly existence. He allowed us to receive all of His riches beyond comprehension, there is no greater transformation from poor too rich than to receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior! Instantly rich in Christ grace unmerited favor for every last one of us that accepts and receives the gift of life through Christ blood that was shed on Calvary that we might be washed, forgiven of our deadly sins, cleanse, set free, made brand new, receive eternal life instantaneously and walk away debt free forever with every sin taken away and remembered no more. How much richer can we be than in Christ! To think that He would allow Himself to endure the life that He led on this earth leading up to the cross and to become the propitiation for our sins, knowing He was the only one who could save us and yet He never made it easy on Himself especially considering He was the Son of God, Creator of all and had every miracle, power, ability and the riches of all creation at his fingertips and the breath of His words could move mountains. He could of spoke things into existence for His comfort and enjoyed all the delicacies of a king while on earth in the form of man. Yet instead of luxury He chose to give us all His love, He gave His life and traded His riches to redeem us-He took the shame and punishment of the cross in our place for our sins, the mere thought of this is overwhelming and mind boggling and not to mention my heart and I am sure every heart that melts at the thought that He could and does loves us this much. Bros He laid down everything for us and rose from the grave and had victory over sin and death the two things that made us poor but He redeemed us from this poverty and made us rich in eternal life with Him! We have an inheritance in Christ and are eternally rich in Christ; we became rich in Him and because of Him-amen!
