Our bible reference proverbs 22:28 is one which has been emphasized on in two proverbs of solomon, as well as twice in the book of Deuteronomy, once in the book of job and once in Hosea. This alone shows the importance of the interpretation of the verse.
And why you should pay core attention
I thoroughly understand that landmark basically are marks mapped out to set boundaries. As boundaries are placed to differentiate two or more things apart.
We see that From the beginning of creation, better still the beginning of the world, how much value God place on boundary setting. That’s why Genesis 1:3-5 explains how God set a landmark between light and darkness.
Obviously Because He saw the light was good!
This explains God’s value of boundaries that at every point God created a landmark/boundary in the Bible it demonstrates a separation between good and bad.
As we’re aware the Bible is the word of God but written by selected men.
In 1 King 21:16-19, we see how king Ahab helped his wife removed a landmark hindering Naboth’s vineyard and the king’s palace. And how long Jeroboam removed an ancient landmark as touching the worship of Yahweh from Jerusalem to Bethel (1 King 12:28-30).
Butttt….
Both violations attracted severe consequences because a landmark was shifted.
Nowwwww this is the realityyy!!!‼️‼️‼️
omo! Times are changing, society and social trends are evolving. Landmarks are now ancient as we throw them into the mud in a jiffy.
We now laugh at things that usually embarrass people those years in the Bible, not because these things have become less embarrassing but because GEN Zs, you! Me! Don’t count it important!
TikTok is now engaged to Instagram as they have birth Netflix and Twitter. That’s what should trend
Fortunately and maybe unfortunately to some I break the news that God’s landmark will continue to remain as ancient as ever and the consequence of moving them is as fresh as a loaf of bread.
Sacred or not they seem to you.
If you’re still here and you’ve not branched TikTok or Instagram can I see you comment a fire emoji
Solomon who happens to be the wisest man understood this when he said warned us not to move them!!
God has established landmarks through men! Women! Our fathers to separate what is right which Is His will from what is wrong (outside his will for you). Whether or not they suit your expectations 💁🏻🤷🏼♂️💁🏽♂️
Or sound extremely sacred, it is what the owner of your life as set for you to follow. From generation to generation God’s landmarks through our fathers remains the same until Jesus comes😂
*The landmark of Salvation*
Salvation basically means being saved, abi na?
And we are well informed that the direct opposite of saved is lost. So definitely God’s landmark of salvation is to keep you From being lost.
I don’t think I need to emphasize what it means to be lost😂. If you want to understand imagine your most loved person on earth missing or kidnapped😂.
You can return from your imagination now😂. Do you gettttttt!
So if you jump your salvation landmark because of self will as Yoruba will say “Otilo”😂🤦🏽♂️e don go be that
Seeee listen‼️‼️
You’re either in Christ or out!!
You can’t serve two masters‼️‼️
Study Romans 8:1 for more emphasis if you’re still doubting😂💁🏽♂️
Fun fact‼️
We don’t declare ourselves saved unfortunately, however God declares us saved.
Just as John 14:6 says
“Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
John 14:6 NIV
https://bible.com/bible/111/jhn.14.6.NIV
that’s the only way to remain in this landmark God has placed!
Study Romans 8:1 for more emphasis if you’re still doubting😂💁🏽♂️

That means for you to remain in this landmark yeah! You have to be in Christ. You really can’t make it simpler than that😂💁🏻
If you like be the funniest, richest, most behaved, most beautiful or handsome sef. Make every body dey chase you asper yunno🤧😂
if you’re not in the landmark of salvation meaning you’re not in Christ Otilo niyen and unfortunately you’ll bear the consequences of moving that landmark.
This landmark is not negotiable my people!🤦🏽♂️
Do you get??
Okayyy this is how to go about it…because many feel they are in Christ but actually aren’t. Yunno it’s not about the speaking in tongues or praying 500years at once. It’s actually in BEING IN CHRIST‼️
Firstttttt stageeee is admitting your wrongs.
These days a lot claim to be in christ but yet do a lot of misbehaviors and claim to be right, even going extra mile to back it up with the Bible. Oga calm down!
Una GEN ZEES Ehn!
Abi Gen Z
You people sha😂
Repent all your actions‼️‼️
That thing you in the deepest place of your heart that you do and know it’s wrong, repent!
“Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.”
2 Corinthians 7:10 NIV
https://bible.com/bible/111/2co.7.10.NIV
God responds to the things we do here on earth in heaven, do your part by repenting!
‼️‼️This is your own deciding to remain in the landmark of salvation. Nobody can do this for you darling!💁🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
Thennn you must surrender your life willingly. In these days salvation seem like a by force thing🤦🏽♂️omo it’s so sad to talk to people about what matters to their life but still see them nonchalant about it!
It has to be willing declaring that Christ gives you transformation.
As Christ said “You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’”
John 3:7 NIV
https://bible.com/bible/111/jhn.3.7.NIV
It’s a must!😂💁🏽♂️
Not in the full maturity but we become what 1 Corinthians 3:1 calls babies in Christ.
Now here is the real deal!!‼️‼️after the stage of willingly surrendering… there’s a. *Conscious* era of conversion.
Note that being born again willingly and conversion are two different stages but atimes happens at same time.
Conversion starts with your act of will after willingly accepting Christ.
Your actions, decisions are made from a conscious heart of your salvation‼️‼️
Renewing your mind with the word of God‼️‼️
Deliberately choosing to forsake sinful ways‼️‼️emphasis on deliberately
“Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.”
Romans 12:1 NIV
https://bible.com/bible/111/rom.12.1.NIV
““Therefore, you , I will judge each of you according to your own ways, declares the Sovereign Lord. Repent! Turn away from all your offenses; then sin will not be your downfall. Rid yourselves of all the offenses you have committed, and get a new heart and a new spirit. Why will you die, people of Israel? For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign Lord. Repent and live!”
Ezekiel 18:30-32 NIV
https://bible.com/bible/111/ezk.18.30-32.NIV
I’ll give you 1min to read that
My People!‼️‼️
The landmark of salvation is not unconditional‼️‼️
It is INTENTIONALITY‼️‼️
Conscious heart of not moving it!!
God’s landmark of salvation is moved when people continue to live in their own way, after giving their life to Christ.‼️‼️
The consequences of crossing the landmark is set‼️‼️not shaking.
Sit down and decide to stay in it‼️ do you want eternal life or not?‼️
Heaven or Hell?‼️‼️
““Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.”
Matthew 12:30 NIV
https://bible.com/bible/111/mat.12.30.NIV
No be me talk am💁🏻🤷🏼♂️
I’ll give you the next 1min to just reflex areas you’ve moved this landmark…
And say this
Heavenly Father be merciful to me for I am a sinner
I believe in Jesus
I believe you father that you raised Christ from death
And I confess now to live according to your landmark of salvation!
In Jesus name. Amen
Thank you Jesus for giving us the grace again to remain in the landmark of salvation! And not move it!
We hereby declare to stay still in Christ and be a doer of all He demands of us!
Thank you Jesus for tonight!
