CALL THE THINGS THAT BE NOT AS THOUGH THEY ARE


Romans 4:17
“(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.”

Did you notice who it is that call things that be not as though they are? It is not faith preachers. No, it is God Himself. And the Scriptures say we are to be imitators of God. Scriptures also say you and I should have the God kind of faith (Mark 11:22). 

Then we also ought to be calling things that be not as though they were. Let us see again how God called things that be not as though they were:

“For God, who commanded light to shine out of darkness…” 2Corinthians 4:6

This is referring to creation in the book of Genesis. Darkness was the prevailing situation but God wanted light, so what did He do? The Scripture said He commanded light to shine out of darkness, in other words where darkness was He called forth light.

“And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.” Genesis 1:3

So calling the things that be not as though they were is issuing word of command to your situation to yield to your desire or to bring forth God’s will for you. It is looking at your empty pocket and saying you have abundance. It is looking at the symptoms on your body and saying you are healed, you are whole. Be like your Father God and call the things that be not in your life, family, business and finances as though they are.
