God's will III: Hear and obey the Holy Spirit immediately

Act 16:10 And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel unto them.    

It is important to know how God operates and how the world operates. God's ways are unique from the world's ways. For instance, the way Paul received a door for ministry was not how many would have approached it. First he received it by a vision. That was not much of self effort. 

There are alot of motivation speakers these days who tell you all that you are to do to succeed. They have framed success in a few principles one must do like "locate yourself strategically, do some networking," etc. On the outside they look okay but God may not need those to fulfil his will. 

Am certain God give you a marriage partner, connect you to a great opportunity that will change your life without any of your efforts. Some say you need to "kwetega" literally translated positioning yourself. We have received testimonies of people getting big opportunities without even bribing or knowing anyone to connect them.

God can lead you to your intended destination simply by the leading of the Holy Spirit. Success God's way is simple; step one, hear God, and two, obey the voice of the Holy Spirit immediately. 

Paul did not linger after having received the instruction through the vision. When he got that vision, he never took it as a mistake or accident, he responded immediately. Your immediate response to God's instruction is key to succeeding in life and walking in God's will. 

Step back and listen to the Holy Spirit, after confirming that it is His voice, obey immediately.
