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.

After the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, it came to pass that the
LORD spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses assistant, saying: Moses My
servant is dead. Now therefore, arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this
people, to the land which I am giving to themthe children of Israel. Every place
that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses.
[Joshua 1:1-3 NKJV]
DIRECTIONS
How awesome it would be to have the Lord speak directly to you and give you directionscan you imagine? The Lord also spoke to Moses previously; the revelation is given on
Mount Sinai when the tablets of the stone, and the law, and the commandments were
given by God that He God wrote that they may teach them- So Moses arose with his
assistant Joshua, and Moses went up to the mountain of God. [Exodus 24:13 NKJV]
When the LORD spoke to Joshua he was not a young man at this time, 85 years old;
had spent his entire career previously as the assistant of Moses, now finds that it is his
own time to lead, but only after God prepared him. God was giving him the directions
through Moses as He prepared him to lead Israel into the Promise Land. His life had
been spent in preparation for this time, such a time as this.
Bros we never know what God will call us to do, sometimes we may wonder why we
might have to go through this trial or season of waiting, and maybe possibly suffering in
a way we cannot understand or we cant figure out why God allowed this in our lives or
why we might not be in charge of something. The Lord is always growing us, directing
us, teaching us, preparing us and helping us to learn something. Maybe a season that
we are learning to trust God. Moses' assistant Joshua was prepared by faithful service
in small things, in being Moses' assistant. Bros that should speak volumes to us! Be
obedient if you serve. Be faithful to that which the Lord calls you to even if it seems
minute be ever so faithful. You never know you might be in training or being prepared
for something big like Joshua was. You could be the next Joshua! Look out when you
get in your eighties bro! Follow His directions. We have learned when we want to talk to
the Lord we get on our knees and pray and when we want to hear from our Father we
get in His Word and let Him lead us and give us direction in our life and walk with Him.
If the Lord has called you to a specific ministry or place to serve, dont back off keep
your hand to plow, keep heading in the direction God has called you to go. For such a
time as this-amen!
Agape,
