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.

IRON MAN OIKODOME BOX TOP 045 Who [is] a God like You, Pardoning iniquity And passing over the transgression of the remnant of His heritage? He does not retain His anger forever, Because He delights [in] mercy. 19He will again have compassion on us, And will subdue our iniquities. You will cast all our sins Into the depths of the sea (Micah 7:18-19NKJV). SUBDUE OUR SINS Bros who is a God that can pardon sins and pass over deliberate sins for a remnant of His heritage? "Who [is] like You, O LORD, among the gods? Who [is] like You, glorious in holiness, Fearful in praises, doing wonders (Exodus 15:11 NKJV)? There is no other God but the God of the Bible, our Father in heaven who forgives our sins through the blood of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior that shed His blood for the remission of sins on Calvary, died on the cross and rose again after three days to have victory over sin and death. No false gods ever died for us or our sins or require confession of sins and repentance because they are not able to forgive our sins or cleanse us from sin and they are not able to promise eternal life. Only the One who is the One true and living God can because He rose from the dead to defeat sin and death- no other false god can make that claim or has done what our Lord Jesus Christ said He would do before it happened, and He did do what He said He would do, He raised from the dead. He overcame death because He is God- the Creator of life and death. As Micah continues with awe inspiring promises that the Lord will pardon their sins and renew them in agreement with His covenant. That He will not be angry forever because our God loves mercy, He enjoys and delights in mercy. He is a God of mercy and His loves endures forever. 6And the LORD passed before him and proclaimed, "The LORD, the LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth, 7keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin (Exodus 34:6-7 NKJV)," Bros this part of the scripture struck me in Micah 7:19 And will subdue our iniquities. When you look at that word subdue and realize that God will take by force, bring under bondage, He will dominate their iniquities. Bros when we realize what is being said here if we are struggling in sin, if we are in bondage to anything in our life God will subdues our sins- He will annihilate our sins. He has power over our sins, no matter how much power they have over us- Gods power is greater, and he will subdue them and cast our sins into the deepest depths of the sea, to be remembered no more. Great to know that God will do this for us when we confess our sins and ask Him to take away whatever has power over us, whatever we might be in bondage to, when we realize we are powerless and He is all powerful over everything, including sin. His power is greater He is able to Subdue our sins- amen! Agape,
