The Olive Tree & The Construction Project
In Zechariah 4, the prophet is shown a vision of olive trees and a menorah - an oil lamp, being continually filled with oil. And then the prophet asks the angel what it all means. The angel answers, “This is the Word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the LORD of hosts.” The Word is a promise that the building of the Second Temple, so filled with problems and obstacles, will be completed. But it will not be completed because of man’s power or might but by the Spirit of God. God is telling them that even something as concrete as a building project must be done by the Spirit of God. If even a construction project is to be accomplished by the Spirit of God and the anointing, then how much more the things you need to do in your life? Do all things by the Spirit, even your job, your relationships, your tasks, and of course, your ministry. For it’s not by might, nor by power, but by His Spirit, says the Lord of hosts.
From Message #1412 - The Anointing and Latter Glory
Today, make it your aim to accomplish the things you need to do by the Spirit of God.
