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.

“COMMIT TO MEMORY”
“Receive, please, instruction from His mouth, And lay up His words in your heart
(Job 22:22 NKJV).”

Bros memorizing Gods Word can help each one of us in our daily walk with the Lord.

His Word can keep you from sinning; hide His Word in your hearts bros… “Your word I have
hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You (Psalm 119:11 NKJV).”

His Word can provide comfort in times of difficulty, think and remember on His Word, it can
save you in those times… “I remembered Your judgments of old, O LORD, And have
comforted myself’ “92Unless Your law had been my delight, I would then have perished in
my affliction (Psalm 119:52, 92 NKJV).”
His Word helps keep your mind and focus on God, that He would be your spotlight and that
you would step into the heart of His light and be surrounded and led by His truth and
brought into that intimate holy place of communion with the Lord…
“Oh, send out Your light and Your truth! Let them lead me; Let them bring me to Your holy
hill And to Your tabernacle (Psalm 43:3 NKJV).”
His Word can provide our daily sustenance for spiritual life, sometimes we are humbled, let
suffer a little, yet not starved so that we would know we can not live by food alone, but by
His every Word…“So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna
which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man
shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of
the LORD (Deuteronomy 8:3 NKJV).”
His Word can provide guidance in all situations of life, obedience taught from our youth,
written into our hearts, carried throughout our lives wherever we go, when we rest we are
held and maintained by them, led by them and they are always speaking to us, they
provide a way and a light, correction has paved a way for us…“20My son, keep your father's
command, And do not forsake the law of your mother. 21Bind them continually upon your
heart; Tie them around your neck. 22When you roam, they will lead you; When you sleep,
they will keep you; And when you awake, they will speak with you. 23For the commandment
is a lamp, And the law a light; Reproofs of instruction are the way of life,
(Proverbs 6:20-23 NKJV).”
His Word provides the basis for informal and formal instruction of your children… and when
we can memorize Scripture we can be sharing with our children continually wherever we go
or wherever we are at this moment throughout the day…
"6And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart’. 7"You shall teach
them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when
you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up (Deuteronomy 6:6,7).”
Bros commit to memory His Word, study His Word continually so you can memorize it,
practice learning the Word. It is important that we all recognize the importance of Scripture
memorization especially at times when a Bible might not be available. We will grow in His
Word and be able to give a greater witness and testimony of our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ through His Scriptures. There is power in His Word and we should be ready and able
to share His Word always with others and also it will help us gain insightful understanding
of the Scriptures as we gain greater knowledge of His Word by Scripture memorization.
Start today Bros, ask God to help you remember His Word and He will! God loves you and
when His Word is etched on and in your heart and you can call to remembrance Scripture
you will be so ministered to by His Word as you recite back His powerful Word and receive
with joy His continual instruction that is embedded in your very heart and are able to be
encouraged by His Truth and led by His Light, His Spirit, His Word. Study His Word, Commit
to Memory today-Do it Bros!
