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.

NEHEMIAH 10:39
“We will not neglect the house of our God”
Nehemiah 10:39 For the children of Israel and the children of Levi shall bring the
offering of the grain, of the new wine and the oil, to the storerooms where the
articles of the sanctuary are, where the priests who minister and the gatekeepers
and the singers are; and we will not neglect the house of our God.
Bros, years ago, I owned a house in San Clemente that literally started falling apart from
neglect. I went up North to work and was gone for three months and came home and
noticed it started falling apart just from no one being there and caring for it… So, neglect
can destroy and bring down, we have to be careful not to neglect every need of the house of
our God.
Everything required is important for ministry to take place, it takes a cohesive effort of
tithes and offerings- we are those that are called to give and labor to accommodate the
house of the Lord; also it takes those that are called to work, it takes order, organization-
also it takes those that are called to lead & direct- leaders, also it takes those who are called
to serve to- the gatekeepers, and also it takes those that have been gifted- the singers, those
that are called to teach- to minister… everyone is needed and important in the things of the
house of God.
The Bible teaches us to be givers and says we need to be givers. But not so much for the
sake of that that we give to, but giving sets out hearts right about material things. If money
and giving are held to tightly that they are never used for God’s glory. Then that says a lot
about the heart that is in control of those blessings from God-who is the Greatest Giver of
all!!!
Bros if we let it go, if we don’t practice caring, if we don’t do what’s required of us, if we have
gifts that we don’t bring to the altar, if we ignore Gods Word, if we neglect it- who will care
for the house of our God?
My dad shortly before he went home to the Lord asked me to fix a door frame at their place.
My mom had just finished saying she would call my uncle to fix it. My dad looked over at
me and said “Danny fix that door for your mom.” He didn’t just mean fix that door; I could
tell when he said it that he meant Danny take care of your mom’s house. I’m leaving soon
and until she leaves to go home take care of her and her house- don’t neglect taking care of
her! He went home to the Lord a few days after saying this to me… I took care her until the
Lord took her home.
Bros in the same way God desires us to be those folks who use their gifts, talents, abilities
to serve God and His house. We need to ask God to help us be those men who don’t neglect
the house of our God-amen! “…we will not neglect the house of our God.”
Agape,
