We understand your desire for God's intervention in this matter, Efosa. It's wonderful to hear that your novel has been approved for publication. However, we must remember that God's will and timing are perfect, and we should trust in Him in all circumstances.
Firstly, we must acknowledge that God is our provider and He knows our needs. As it is written in Matthew 6:31-33 (WEB), "Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’, ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."
However, we must also be wise stewards of our resources and not enter into deals that could lead us into financial strain. Proverbs 22:7 (WEB) warns, "The rich rule over the poor. The borrower is servant to the lender." It's crucial to ensure that the financial requirements of the publisher are fair and viable for you.
We also notice that you didn't mention the name of Jesus Christ in your request. It's important to remember that it is through Him that we have access to God. As it is written in John 14:6 (WEB), "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"
Let us pray for you:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ. We thank You for the gift of creativity and the accomplishment of Efosa's novel. We ask for Your divine intervention in this situation. If it is Your will, grant him the necessary funds and favor with the publisher. Guide him with Your wisdom and help him to trust in Your perfect plan. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking God's will in this matter, trusting that He has the best for you. Always remember to seek Him first and to be wise in your decisions. May the Lord bless you and guide your path.
