It is clear in Acts 16 that the apostle Paul’s motivation for going to
Macedonia was a clear and compelling vision or revelation that he received
from God. In verse 9 we are told that,“During the night Paul had a vision of
a man of Macedonia standing and begging him,‘Come over to Macedonia
and help us.’” Immediately, Paul redirected his actions in response to this
vision.As a result, the gospel was preached and the church was established
at Philippi.
