Divine Expertise in a Digital Age: Lessons from Bezalel, Oholiab & Huram Abi for Tech Professionals


Our Foundation: Called to Build with Excellence - (Exodus 36:1, 2 Chronicles 2:13-14)

 Biblical Context 

  - Bezalel & Oholiab: Spirit-filled artisans who engineered the Tabernacle (Exodus 31:1-6).  
  - Huram Abi: A master craftsman bridging Israel and Tyre for Solomon’s Temple (1 Kings 5:6).  

 Tech Parallel:  

  - Like these builders, we’re called to merge divine wisdom with technical skill.  
  - Our workplaces (LG, Wharf for Christ, etc.) are modern "construction sites" for God’s purposes.  

 Action Point:  Our code, systems, and leadership as sacred work—state-of-the-art offerings to God.


The Spirit of Excellence in Tech - (Exodus 35:30-35)

 Biblical Model  

  - Bezalel & Oholiab combined creativity + precision—goldsmithing to textile engineering.  
  - Huram Abi’s cross-cultural collaboration set industry standards (1 Kings 5:6).  

 Tech Imperatives:   

            Quality Matters: Build resilient systems (like the Tabernacle’s design) 

            Mentorship: Teach others, as these artisans did (Exodus 35:34).  

 Key Quote:  God doesn’t call the qualified—He qualifies the called. Your skills are Spirit-enabled."*  


Influence & Ethical Responsibility- Proverbs 24:11-12

 Biblical Charge: 

  - Protect the vulnerable (e.g., misuse of AI, data exploitation, addictive algorithms).  

 Tech Mission: 

  - Positive Impact: Use IT to uplift churches, families, and communities.  
  - Guardrails: Advocate for ethical tech—be "Oholiabs" who design with integrity.  

 Challenge: Will your code reflect God’s heart for justice? Your systems can be tools for redemption.  


Closing Charge: Build Like Bezalel
- Remember: God is above all tech trends (Colossians 1:17).  
- Collaborate: Pastors, colleagues, and global partners (like Huram’s cross-border teamwork).  
- Legacy: Your work today is the "Tabernacle" for tomorrow’s digital wilderness.  

The Lord has filled us with skill to do all kinds of work. —Exodus 35:35  

Build boldly. Code faithfully. Lead with eternity in mind.

At the altar, our destiny is altered

At the altar, our destiny is altered... Reference-  Job 37:23-24 MSG “Mighty God! Far beyond our reach!     Unsurpassable in Power and Justice!     It’s unthinkable that HE would treat anyone unfairly. So bow to HIM in deep reverence, one and all!     If you’re wise, you’ll most certainly worship HIM.” God is unfolding His story in His own way. The Sovereign and Supreme Ruler is in control of everyone, everything, and everywhere, and the accuser must seek His permission before acting against us. He sees us as His own, and we belong to Him just as He belongs to us. As Job said, God can do all things, and no purpose of His can be stopped (42:2). The Just and Righteous Judge – Our God is fundamentally just, and it’s unthinkable that He would treat anyone unfairly. His rule and governance are righteous, even if at times our eyes, ears, and hearts may not fully understand. The source of all wisdom and revelation is God , whose knowledge is complete unlike ...

God's way is the Power

God's way is God's Power Reference- 1 Cor 4:20 MSG -  God’s Way is not a matter of mere talk; it’s an empowered life!! In 1 Corinthians, Paul speaks to a divided church where some were proud, eloquent, and believed they were spiritually superior because of their words and wisdom. He contrasts this human pride with the true power of God, shown in the cross, in changed lives, and in the work of the Spirit, the God's Power. It’s an empowered life—God’s ways are the true power, not found in mere talk, endless words, idle chatter, or impressive responses built on layers of discussion. It is a life empowered by the power of His Spirit, the presence of the Holy Spirit. It is power that breaks chains, sets us free, anoints us, and creates new opportunities, fresh paths, flourishing streams, divine strategies, abundant life, and limitless expansion. Paul didn’t ask the Corinthians to be practical . It’s not about having everything, but about having Him alongside others. That’s why h...

Efforts that counts...

Efforts that counts... Reference- 2 Ch 17  Context: King Jehoshaphat was a seeker and follower of the God of his father and was obedient to HIM; he wasn’t like Israel (at that time, Ahab was ruling Israel). And God secured the kingdom under his rule, gave him a firm grip on it. And everyone in Judah showed their appreciation by bringing gifts. Jehoshaphat ended up very rich and much honoured. Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone - Apostle James in 2:17 Efforts that showed his intention to Seek and Keep Him: Sticking to the ways of Asa (his godly father). Rejecting Baal — non-conformity to the ungodly culture. Removing high places and Asherah poles. This is personal reformation — the king putting his own house in order spiritually. Efforts that enabled others to Seek and Keep Him: Building defences — not just military, but spiritual covering. Sending teachers throughout Judah with the “Book of the Revelation of God” (likely the Torah or existing OT Scriptures). ...
