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.

And they helped David against the bands [of raiders], for they [were] all mighty
men of valor, and they were captains in the army. For at [that] time they came to
David day by day to help him, until [it was] a great army, like the army of God.
[1Chronicles 12:21-22 NKJV]
ARMY OF GOD
Bros, these mighty men called to come alongside of David and become a great army like the
army of the Lord. In the book of Joshua we read about when the commander of the army of
the Lord appears and this army of Davids is likened to that army And it came to pass,
when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, a Man stood
opposite him with His sword drawn in His hand. And Joshua went to Him and said to Him,
"[Are] You for us or for our adversaries?" So He said, "No, but [as] Commander of the army of
the LORD I have now come." And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped, and said
to Him, "What does my Lord say to His servant?" Then the Commander of the LORD's army
said to Joshua, "Take your sandal off your foot, for the place where you stand [is] holy." And
Joshua did so. [Joshua 5:13-15 NKJV]
What do you do when you are engaged in battle and realize that the Lord is there, you are in
His presence and the battle belongs to Lord? Can you imagine you are in His presence; to me
its as if there is a beam of brilliant light all around shining down from heaven adding to
Davids army. I think you would humble yourself and know He is God and you are standing on
Holy ground. So you submit to Him, you fall on your face to the earth, to the things of this
world and ask as Joshua did What does my Lord say to His servant? And Joshua heard this
take your sandals off your foot, for the place where you stand is holy. Bros when we go to the
Lord, when we commit to Him, when we fully submit to Him and give everything to Him, when
we are His servants, standing in His midst, also in the midst of battle we should be as Joshua
was and fall on our face and worship Him and ask Him what does my Lord say to His servant?
First of all we have to be His servants, then submit and commit. We are always in His
presence; rarely do we realize or acknowledge this. When we realize we are in Gods presence
we ought to humble ourselves and walk in humility and know we are standing on holy ground
and that God is there with us in the midst of our every battle, every disappointment, every
tear, every time of heart break that the Commander of the army of the Lord is with us. We
ought to honor God and humble ourselves before an ever loving, merciful and Mighty God. He
knows always our every battle and will send a great army like the army of God. Those mighty
men of valor were sent to David by God day by day until they were a great army like the army
of God to help him and deliver him. God kept adding and building up the army. Sometimes we
may think we dont have enough of whatever to have victory in our own battles we have going
on in our lives. God keeps adding to our war chest so to speak day by day until we have a
great army or great defense of deliverance that can only come from God. Then we see His
anointing on our situation and all around our battle as we realize this is like the army of God,
no one can go up against God and we are standing on holy ground-amen!
Agape,
