CHARACTER STUDY ~ HURAM

-




Huram is a Hebrew masculine name which means free, highborn, pure, brilliant, or white-robed. He was the son of a widow from the tribe of Naphtali (a woman of the daughters of Dan), and his father was a man of Tyre. He was a bronze worker filled with wisdom, understanding, and skill in working with all kinds of bronze work.


Some Characteristics of Huram:

✔ Huram had dual citizenship. His mother was an Israelite while his father was a Tyrian. Irrespective of one's origin God can still use the individual to do great works. 

✔ Huram was recommended by the King of Tyre to help King Solomon with the artistic works on the temple. We ought to perform our tasks well so that we can also be recommended for contracts. 

✔ Huram was a bronze worker filled with wisdom, understanding, and skills in working with all kinds of bronze. Livelihood skills are as important as white-colored jobs and must be embraced by all people for national development.   

✔ Huram gave a perfect touch to the temple completion with his designs of the bronze pillars for the temple, Sea of cast bronze and oxen, carts of bronze, and lavers of bronze. 

✔ There is no record of the death of Huram in the Bible although other Christian literature might have it. 


Supporting Scriptures: 1 Kings 7 & 2 Chronicles 2

Let us be informed that Christ's second return is for judgment.  √ Apollos was instructed in the way of Christ by Priscilla and Aquila, two faithful couples in Christ.

DEVOTION ~ JUDGING RIGHTEOUSLY

-
Theme: Judging Righteously Text: Genesis 38:26 26 So Judah acknowledged them and said, “She has been more righteous than I because I did not give her to Shelah my son.” And he never knew her again. Previous devotion taught us that Tamar sent the pledge Judah gave her to him to identify the owner. Upon receiving the items Judah acknowledged his wrong. Judah did not allow pride or ego to cloud his judgment but rather pointed to the role he played in leading Tamar to take such a drastic step to get pregnant. Dear beloved in the Lord, don't be quick to point people's wrong without considering yours. Let us learn from Judah to never push blame to others if we are guilty. Let us Pray: Almighty God, forgive me for employing the full rigour of the law on defaulters but failing to in my own case. Grant me sound judgment to act righteously. This I ask in the Name of Jesus Christ. AMEN!

COMMAND YOUR WEEK

Do you feel you're forgotten, rejected or insecure? Dear beloved in the Lord, you're not forgotten, for God has engraved your name in His palms. Isaiah 49:16 See, "I have engraved you on the Palms of My Hands: Your walls are ever before Me". If God has engraved your name in His palms, it means He always sees or watches over you. Rise up and shake the fear and doubts off.  Declare, "I am not forgotten or alone. The LORD has engraved me in His Palms. Therefore, His eyes are fixed on me, and He protects me from the wicked. I decree all that I have is secured in the Name of Jesus Christ. AMEN!
