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 he said, "Listen, all you of Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you,
King Jehoshaphat! Thus says the LORD to you: 'Do not be afraid nor dismayed
because of this great multitude, for the battle [is] not yours, but God's.
[2CHRONICLES 20:15 NKJV]

THE BATTLE IS NOT YOURS

Bros the battle has always been the Lords, but we all know how man always tries to take over
at least in most of our lives But not in this case as King Jehoshaphat heeds a prophetic
word of wisdom given by the Spirit of the Lord through Jahaziel in verse fourteen that he
brings in the midst of the assembly. Surely God was moving and leading to give Jahaziel the
boldness to declare this as King Jehoshaphat had the whole assembly of Judah and
Jerusalem fasting and gathered up seeking the Lord.

Notice Jahaziel not only calls for the attention of Judah and Jerusalem, but its like he is
exclusively emphasizing this point when he says and you, King Jehoshaphat! You see God
wants our full attention every one of us whether we be king or joe cool. Also God knew King
Jehoshaphat not only as a man but as a humble leader that truly was gifted by God. When
Jehoshaphat set himself to seek the Lord and proclaimed a fast all throughout Judah. Soon
after all Judah had come to seek the Lord. So Jehoshaphat stood in the midst of them and
prayed and led Judah and Jerusalem in seeking God. So as a natural leader gifted by God he
brought the people to seek God together. He knew he was out numbered- a great multitude
was coming against him. That is how you can know he is a true leader, because he sought the
Lord and then led the people to pray, seek and trust the Lord. And God brought the answer to
that prayer and delivered them through humbly listening to Jahaziel as he declares to all the
people gathered these beautiful bold prophetic words of deliverance Do not be afraid nor
dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle [is] not yours, but God's.

Bros every day we are fighting battles all day long, there may be a war going off in your head
right now. A lot of our battles are in our head right between our ears and they can become real
when we buy into that fear, doom and destruction line the enemy tries to feed our mind with,
that is if we let slue foot have access to our head even so all battles belong to the Lord.
Then this battle comes along and seems to be the battle of all battles and could be that battle
where you are surrounded and there seems to be no way out, no hope, you are overwhelmed,
outnumbered, out gunned, out smarted, and consumed with fear. But dont despair the Lord
is on your side and can and will deliver you when you seek Him, listen to Him, obey Him and
humbly submit to the King of kings and Lord of lords. He will deliver you because you belong
to Him and the battle belongs to Him-amen!

Agape,
