1 Samuel 11:7 NKJV
"So he took a yoke of oxen and cut them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the territory of Israel by the hands of messengers, saying, “Whoever does not go out with Saul and Samuel to battle, so it shall be done to his oxen.”
And the fear of the Lord fell on the people, and they came out with one consent."

It's time for the church, you and I to "Awake to Unity" and come under our God ordained leadership. We must come to the realization that God is active and watching (11:7b). It is the "fear of the Lord" that drives us to act for His best for all of His creation. When this happens God’s influence will fall as it fell on the group here in 1 Samuel, after its leader was stirred to action.
Again we see, that after the leader took action the people came out, “Come out” as one to action (11:7b). There was no time for a meeting. There was no need for discussion; the choice was made. Too many of us get caught up in email, snail mail, text, telephone calls, paperwork and just plain business with no productivity.

ACTION STEP: Read your Bible as a modern day "How to Manuel", because it is. If you are up against a problem find that problem in the Bible and see how the Lord would have you to take action. God's plans never fail, but we fail to implement His plans and instead do what we think is best. We don't know what is best unless we know what God would have us to do. You will never know that God is a never failing God unless you allow Him to be Lord of your battle. Then you will see He is your VICTORY!
