We are encouraged to build this Church by the Holy Spirit who gives us the ability to accomplish God’s plan, as it is written in Zechariah 4:6. We are workers together with God, and that it is a work which God will own and crown. God will carry on and complete this work, not by external force, but by the work of the Holy Spirit in the lives of men and women. The work of God is often carried on very successfully when yet it is carried on very silently, and without the assistance of human force; the Church is built, not by might or power, but by the Spirit of the Lord of hosts; thus the Excellency of the power is of God, and not of man. Therefore we trust in God to do His work Himself by His own Spirit. All the difficulties and oppositions that lie in the way shall be got over and removed, even those that seem insuperable. (Matthew Henry, 1706)
