However, when we see some things, we say to ourselves that we are realists, and we have to say things the way they are. Pastor, are you saying we should not say the truth? <!--more-->If the girl is stupid, should I not tell her she is stupid? Is that what you are saying? Exactly, that is what I am saying. What God is saying to you is do not call it as you see it, call it as God sees it. If you call it as you see it, you are going to make a lot of mistakes. But if you refuse to call it as you see it, and you call it as God sees it, you will have it as God says it will be.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Sometimes we say to our children, \u2018Even though this what the Bible says but this is how I see it.\u2019 Excuse me, what or who do you think you are? Do not call it as you see it, call it as God sees it, and it will eventually become as you want to see it. A classic example is the twelve spies that God sent to spy out the promised land. Ten of the spies made the mistake of their lives; they came back from seeing the land and they said, \u2018Look, Moses, we will give you a balanced report. Yes, we saw the grapes. Yes, it is a land flowing with milk and honey. But there are giants in the land, and they want to kill us. In fact, we are like grasshoppers before them\u2019, and they went on and on and on. Caleb and Joshua tried to redirect them to what God has said, \u2018We are able to take this land!\u201d But they insisted that Caleb and Joshua\u2019s report was incomplete. \u2018There are also giants there\u2019, they said. Caleb said, \u2018the giants are bread for us.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Call it as God sees it.\u2019 Where there no giants there? What do you expect from a land that is flowing with milk and honey? If you get to a land and you do not see giants there, please do not occupy it. it means the land is useless. Go and find a land that has correct giants and take them on. <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.bible.com\/en-GB\/bible\/116\/NUM.14.28\">Num.14:<sup>28<\/sup><\/a> \u201c<i>Now tell them this: &#8216;As surely as I live, declares the LORD, I will do to you the very things I heard you say<\/i>.\u201d Be careful the words that you speak, they are actually prophesying your destiny. Your words are more potent than any prayer anybody can pray over you. Why? It is because your words live with you every day, when you sleep and when you wake. You have to change the words that you are speaking. In fact, say what God says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www2.bible.com\/en-GB\/bible\/116\/2KI.7.1\">2 Kings 7:<sup>1<\/sup><\/a> \u201c<i>Elisha replied, \u201cListen to this message from the Lord! This is what the Lord says: By this time tomorrow in the markets of Samaria, six quarts of choice flour will cost only one piece of silver, and twelve quarts of barley grain will cost only one piece of silver.\u201d<\/i> Elisha\u2019s message was not based on his analysis of economic indices. <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.bible.com\/en-GB\/bible\/116\/2KI.7.2\">2 Kings 7:<sup>2<\/sup> <\/a><i>\u201cThe officer assisting the king said to the man of God, \u201cThat couldn\u2019t happen even if the Lord opened the windows of heaven!\u201d But Elisha replied, \u201cYou will see it happen with your own eyes, but you won\u2019t be able to eat any of it<\/i>!\u201d Never let the naysayers have the final say.
