Proverbs 22:28
Precious to the fathers but disdained by the sons.
Lesson: A landmark is anything such as a structure that can be seen from a distance, helping to know where one is. It can also be called a monument. Most times, they are always ancient; helpful towers, houses, buildings of any and many types, laws, orders, clothes, farmlands and other related functions.
“Do not remove the ancient landmark which your fathers have set.”
This is one of the major instructions for wisdom that the preacher of the Proverbs stated for his son(s). It is a command, ‘the ancient landmark’. What is the ancient landmark? There are several statues, things and events which the fathers have planted or made, now this very landmarks must not be removed. The early men did not understand it, that they perished in the long rains while Noah escaped, so were the men of Sodom and Gomorrah. The pharisees also practised removing it without knowledge of what they do, they brilliantly worked against it like using a bulldozer.
The ancient landmark is the Scripture of Truth, the Truth Himself, the Way and Life. The early men blasphemed the God of the earth like we do now, there is no God. The men of Sodom wanted to sleep with angels and the pharisees fulfilled the works of Satan, so much. How the early Church also wanted to remove it as vain doctrines started in. Is the landmark still there with you?
FOCUS TODAY: All the prophets, kings and fathers have lived the life, kept the will and walked the Spirit to build the landmark (Scripture) which we pull down too often. #fact #focustoday
