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 069 Come to Me, all [you] who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest (MATTHEW 11:28 NKJV). FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS Bros seems easy enough but can be hard to do sometimes Our Lord says Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden Sometimes even when we come to the Lord we dont stop laboring, we want to keep pushing it, working it, manipulating it, we just cannot stop scheming. The more we labor the thing, the heavier the burdens gets then we get overloaded, overworked, burdened, and weighed down. Have you ever got your car stuck in the mud or sand and it seems the more you step on the gas to get it unstuck the deeper it keeps getting until you stop trying to get it unstuck. We labor and make our situations worst and then our situation becomes a huge burden, we have no peace, we labor in our flesh to no avail. No matter what you might be up against at this moment in your life maybe its a struggle with your eternity, salvation or lifes battles or some other situation maybe you are digging in deeper trying to work things out on your own and not seeking Jesus or letting Jesus lead you and you are miserable and feel weighed down. You work so hard, you labor at your own expense- yet there is no gain, no benefit or no advantage, just that sinking feeling of getting deeper and deeper But know this bros whether a long time believer or not yet a believer the invitation is still the same and always there because Jesus says Come to Me, all [you] who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. The Lord is our deliverer, He will take the load, we just need to remember to come to Him first and He will give us what we need, salvation and rest for our weary souls- amen! 29"Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.30"For My yoke [is] easy and My burden is light (Matthew 11:29-30)." Come to Jesus first and learn from Him, let Him carry the load, it is nothing for the Lord, your soul will be forever safe-He has eternity in His hands! He is in control and He is God Almighty-amen! Agape,
