Obedience feels like loss. Giving up what we can’t bear to lose in order to gain what we couldn’t imagine.

Ephraim and Manasseh
Joseph said to Jacob, “No, my father, this one is the firstborn; put your right hand on his head.” But Jacob refused and crossed his hands for the blessing.

Joseph named his first son Manasseh, which means causing to forget, healing from affliction and release from past pain.
His second son he named Ephraim, which means fruitfulness and double blessing.

By tradition, the firstborn always received the greater blessing.
The birthright.
The double portion.
Not just for personal gain, but to provide for widows and protect the family line.

So, by human standards, Manasseh should have received the blessing.
But Jacob crossed his hands.
God elevated Ephraim instead.

This wasn’t random.
It was prophetic.

Many of us have been walking through fire.
And God, like He did for Joseph, has brought us into a Manasseh season, a time of healing, recovery, and restoration.

But something is shifting.
God is about to have your Ephraim overtake your Manasseh.
He’s not just interested in healing your past.
He wants to multiply your future.

What the enemy meant for harm is becoming the very ground of abundance.
It’s not just about forgetting what happened.
It’s about stepping into legacy, multiplication, and divine expansion.

God wasn’t just healing Joseph’s story.
He was positioning him for global impact.
________________________________________
For many of you as authors, your first book is your Manasseh.
It’s the healing book.

The one that restored your voice, processed your pain, and pulled you back to life.

It may not sell a million copies.
But its value isn’t in the sales. It’s in what it heals.

That book is the seed that launches your Ephraim season, the one that overtakes and overcomes everything that came before.

So let me ask you…
Are you willing to trust God with the process of your first book, not for performance, but for healing?
(I’ve even seen this happen with high-level business books.)

Are you willing to lay down expectations of fame or finances, in exchange for the greater gift of restoration and divine setup?

Because…when you let God heal you through the first book,
He will multiply you through the next.

That “Smaller Role” Might Be Your Greatest Setup
Don’t despise small beginnings but make them strategic.

Dallas Jenkins, the director of The Chosen, started by making movie shorts for his local church. One of those shorts, The Two Thieves, told the story of Jesus on the cross through the eyes of the two criminals beside Him. Nearly all the dialogue came from the thieves. Jesus only had a few lines.

Jonathan Roumie (the actor who now plays Jesus in The Chosen) auditioned for the role of one of the thieves. He was disappointed when he didn’t get the part but was instead cast in the much smaller role of Jesus.

What looked like a downgrade was actually divine positioning.
That “small” role became preparation for one of the most impactful portrayals of Jesus in modern media.

As authors, we sometimes feel like what God is giving us is a consolation prize, a book that’s slower to write than we hoped, a launch that didn’t explode, or a calling that feels…quiet.

But God isn’t in the business of downgrades.
He’s in the business of setups.

If something feels small or delayed, it’s not a punishment.
It’s positioning.

But here’s the caveat:
You must do the one thing Jonathan Roumie did.
The thing Dallas Jenkins did.
The thing that every author of impact must do.

Spend time with God.
Listen to His voice.
Obey what He says.
Simple, but often skipped.

If you do those three things, you will always be in the pocket of His will, even if it doesn’t look like it yet.

Lately, I’ve seen so many authors who are not taking the next step.
Some out of fear.
Some out of disbelief.
Some out of letting their circumstances speak a louder voice than God himself.

What is He asking you to do right now?
Hand Him your loaves and fish.
Then let go and let Him be responsible for the results.
