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.

For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. 22"But I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you. 23"And you, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hades; for if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. 24"But I say to you that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment than for you (Matthew 11:20-24NKJV). FRUIT THAT LASTS Bros after reading these verses I have to examine myself and see if the realities of the mighty works of Jesus are still real and evident in my life today as they were when Jesus saved me- just as He did for all these in the cities He did many mighty miraculous works in my life and I am sure yours too just as Jesus had done many great and wondrous miracles and works in all these towns and yet He says that its as if they had not witnessed anythingthey were unfazed, unmoved, un-repentive, and unresponsive to the mighty works They had forgotten the mighty works of Jesus, its as if they never saw or witnessed what Jesus can and did do in their cities, their lives went on unchanged, and they saw and just fell back to the state of condition of where they were before the mighty works. There was no fruit or even any evidence of repentance or of conversion from their lives after seeing the mighty works of Jesus. This can happen to us too bros, we get delivered out of the miry pit, we get set free, we see Gods hand moving and taking us out of a path of sin, destruction and death. We might have been on fire for the Lord at one time in the beginning but maybe we have slipped back into the assembly line of the old man like where these folks remained or went back to, maybe they too lost their witness, they lost the joy of seeing and experiencing and receiving and remembering Jesus mighty works in their lives And still believing that today and everyday He gives us- is part of His mighty works that He gave to each one of us... We are living because of His mighty works in our lives yet are we repn Him in our lives like we were way back when He first did these mighty works in our lives??? Have we lost our witness, our joy, our zeal, is there any fruit or are we even trying to produce fruit for our King? Are we still living in the miracle of His mighty works He has done in our lives, do we have that boldness, completely sold out attitude of zeal for His kingdom and what He did for us? Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by [its] fruit (Matthew 12:33 NKJV). Live for Jesus, bear fruit and remember His mighty works in your life! Amen! Agape,
