Zechariah 4:6-9
So he said to me, "This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: `Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the Lord Almighty.â€ÂWhat are you, O mighty mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become level ground. Then he will bring out the capstone to shouts of `God bless it! God bless it!' "Then the word of the Lord came to me: "The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this temple; his hands will also complete it. Then you will know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to you.
Construction of the second temple, after the exile in Babylon was started in 536 B.C. on the Solomonic foundations leveled a half- century earlier by the Babylonians. There were several attempts to thwart it. Many enemies rose to hinder the building but finally in 516 B.C., the sixth year of the Persian emperor Darius 1, the temple was finally completed.
If you are out to build something, whether your spiritual life, a church or something in your life in this world, hindrances may come, but remember, “It’s not by might nor by power, but by God’s Spirit†that you have to build and only then you will see victory. Persist in prayer till the answer comes and the hindrance is removed. That mighty mountain before you will be flattened by the Spirit of the Lord. The victory is your’s , so praise the Lord.
