Next Year (2026), you will still be alive – I will see you and you will see me (Amen).
Once again, I Welcome you all to the RCCG RMF Annual Convention 2025 with the Theme: “UPHOLDING THE ANCIENT LANDMARKS”.
The Theme of this Year’s RCCG RMF Annual Convention 2025 is so Good and Powerful – “Upholding The Ancient Landmarks”.
The Ancient Landmarks is the Standard Patterns and Ways the People, the Prophets and the Apostles of Old live by and followed in their Day-to-day Activities based on the Commandments of God.
These Patterns and Ways were their Drive and everything they did was in line with them!
In the time of the Apostles, Jesus Christ was the Pattern and Standard – And they never deviated from it.
And the Word of God says in the Book of Proverbs 22:28 – Remove not the Ancient Landmarks which thy fathers had set.
Solomon said emphatically in the Book of Proverbs 23:10 – Remove not the Old Landmarks.
What exactly is Landmark?
A Landmark was considered a Sacred Thing that Perpetrate firmly holdings and was used as a means of Protection against deceit, against error and against confusion.
In our Nation today, we have seen the removal of Landmarks established by the Lord and our Founding Fathers.
- A Landmark of the Scriptures.
A Landmark of the Words of God has been removed.
Turn on the Radio or Television today, you will have the Airways filled with Obstenity, Profanity and Vulgarity.
Today, we Witness Religion relegated to the background or not even existing again.
I don’t know when last you visited some of these Schools?
If not for few Christian Schools that are trying to revive it, you will suddenly discovered that Religious Studies has been relegated to the background.
- Our Nation is under attack as the Terrorists and Kidnapping has become the order of the day,
Why? Because the Old Landmark has been jettisoned.
- The Bible says: “Train a Child in the way he will go and when he gets Old, he will not depart from it.
But what kind of Training are we giving when God is not there?
- The Landmark of Sanctity of Life removed.
We were born in a Nation who respected the Value of Life and our forefathers believed in a Creator that brought Life into Existence.
Now, we are a Nation with Streets flowing with Blood – Our Young ones dying on the Streets, our Schools threatened on a regular basis and Child Abuse is rampant.
We are now in a Nation that Glorifies Violence.
How did we get to this Blood-Thirsty State?
I believed that there is a Direct Correlation between the Violence in our Society and the Non Challant Attitudes of our Leaders.
That is why this Topic is so important because when we look at the Percentage of Leadees in our Nation today, the Men carries eighty Percent (80%) to ninety Percent (90%).
How can we respect the Life of anyone if we fail to respect and Protect the Life of our little Children being killed by the Terrorist?
This is why we need to go back to that Ancient Landmarks.
- What about the Landmark of Sacredness of Marriage?
Today, it has been removed severally.
The act of Marriage is Sacred because it was established by God in the Beginning – Genesis 2: 22-24.
It was Validated by our Lord Jesus Christ – That He Performed His First Miracle at a Marriage Ceremony (DMC NOTES: John 2: 1-12)
And when we look at God the Father – God the Father Performed the first Ceremony in the Garden (Genesis 2: 21-25).
Setting the Landmark for Marriage when He said: For this cause shall a Man leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife and they shall be one flesh (DMC Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:5-6; Mark 10: 7-9 and Ephesians 5:31).
Marriage is defined by God Himself as between Man (Husband) and Woman (Wife).
Yet, we can see many Countries today – Even where it is not yet Pronounced; we are seeing the traces even in our Country (Nigeria) of Sodomites.
DMC NOTES: In the context of the Bible, “Sodomy” is a term that has evolved in meaning over time. Historically, it has been linked to the Story of Sodom and Gomorrah – The People involved referred to as “Sodomites”. Where the destruction of the Cities was attributed to the sin of their Wickedness – Lack of Hospitality to Guests and Homosexuality, specifically Anal Sex between Men.
We have to go back to the Old Landmark of Marriage Institution.
- Today the Home is failing and the results are fatal as the “Father-Figure” is missing at home.
In the time Past, the Home was a Sacred Place of Learning even more than our School System – Where Discipline, Values and Fear of God were taught by Example!
I remember my father – Even though he is uneducated (didn’t go to School) but he has a word for all his children;
“Iran meta ki tosi” (DMC NOTES: Meaning that three (3) Generations does not experience Poverty).
He is saying that: You must be Greater than me and your own children must be Greater than you.
But Today, do we really have time to talk to our children?
Today, many Homes has become breeding Grounds of Confusion, Drug Abuse and an unusual Pursuit of Financial or Material Wealth, Domestic Violence, Carelessness, Unchecked Behaviour etc.
Many Parents has Delegated their Divine Duties to raise children with Character.
They have rather handed them over to Television Screens, Mobile Phones and the Corrupt Content of Social Media.
And the Painful Truth is this – When Parents are absent in Training their children, Providing necessary Corrections and Supervision; evil creeps in slowly and quietly and leave behind a fatal result.
Break a Sacred Thing:
☆ Invites Danger – That is if you are not already in Danger.
☆ It can disturb your Peace.
☆ It cam delay your Purpose.
☆ An Open Door to Spiritual Attacks.
Why? Because what is Sacred is Protected and when Dishonoured, it carries consequences.
WHAT LANDMARKS ARE WE CALLED TO UPHOLD?
Genesis 18:19; God said concerning our father Abraham – For I know him that he will Command his children and his Household after him and they shall keep the Ways of the Lord to do Justice and Judgement that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which He has Spoken of him.
Brethren, if God will bring to Past what He has Spoken concerning us; we need to follow the Old Landmarks!
God said that He believed that Abraham will teach his children so that what He has Promised him, will come to Past.
What are these Landmarks that we need to Preserve?
- THE LANDMARK OF THE FEAR OF GOD.
Proverbs 1:7 and Proverbs 8:13.
And we have an Example in the Bible of the one that failed to Uphold the Landmark in Acts Chapter 5 – Talking about Ananias and Sapphira.
- THE LANDMARK OF LOVE.
John 3:16.
God expects us to love each other – To love our wife and to love our children.
1 Corinthians 13: 4-7 talks about Love.
Ephesians 5:25 says: Husband, love your wife even as Christ also love the Church and gave Himself for it.
- THE LANDMARK OF PRAYER.
Luke 18:1; Matthew 26: 39-44; Luke 5:16.
And in the Book of 1 Thessalonians 5:17 – It says: Pray without Ceasing.
- THE LANDMARK OF STUDYING AND MEDIDATING ON THE WORD OF GOD.
We must Uphold that Landmark.
God said to Abraham: I know that He will teach his Household.
As the Head of the family, God is looking up unto us to go back to that Landmark of Old – That Ancient Landmark where we can sit down in our families with our wives and children Studying the Word of God together, Sharing the Word of God together and Praying together.
Joshua 1:8 tells us the Condition for God to keep Blessing us.
- THE LANDMARK OF SELFLESS AND SACRIFICIAL GIVING.
For God so Love the world that He gave – John 3:16.
God the Father gave Sacrificially.
And God the Son gave Sacrificially by laying down his Life for us.
Brethren, we must go back to this Ancient Old Landmark if we want to see the King of Glory that People of Old saw.
- THE LANDMARK OF PRAISE AND WORSHIP.
Do you Praise God in your Home or you just tell your children – Just go ahead and Praise God as I am tired?
Jesus Christ Himself even by the side of the Grave of Lazarus; what was the first thing that He did?
He Praised God before Commanding Lazarus to come forth.
There are certain Lazarus in our lives that has been buried.
But if you want those Lazarus to come back to Life, we need to establish Praise and Worship in our Life and family!
Read: Psalm 119: 164 and 1 Thessalonians 5:18.
- WE MUST PRACTICE CHRISTIANITY IN OUR LIVES.
There are so many People in the Church today but the Church is not in them because they are not Practising what is written in the Word of God.
We get our Minds fixed over such Events as: What happened when our Country or Club is Playing with another Country or Club.
If we put these kind of Actions to our Service to God and Homes; things will Change and our children will not become Vagabonds.
Many of the children of Christians today, they are no where to be found – You need to see the way they dress and how they live their lives.
Some of them when coming Homem they put on Good dress.
Have you ever visited them in their Campuses?
Do you know the kind of Life they are living?
We need to go back to the Old Landmark so that the Word of God must mean to us something Sacred and carry Values in our families.
☆ We must Study the Word of God.
☆ We must Practice the Word and teach our children.
We are the first Bible that our children are reading!
No matter how Philosopher you are on the Pulpit; your children are not listening to that which you are Preaching on the Pulpit. But they are Watching you to see if you are living and acting what you are Preaching!
And this is why you need to go back to the Old Landmark if really we want to bring back Peace and Joy and we want our Generation to become what God wants it to be.
We get upset over Prayers not being allowed in Schools – But are we Praying in our Homes?
We can criticise the School but you are not criticising yourself?
Are you leading Prayers in your family?
Do you Pray in the House with your family?
How many times have we Prayed for the Lost recently in your family?
We must work the work and not just talk the talk!
My desire for you today is to know that there is a Right Path and there is a Wrong Path.
We must be sure that we are walking with one that God has Ordained – The one that he can bless and the one that honours Him.
The Lord Jesus Christ, the Apostles and the Prophets of Old laid for us Major Landmarks that can make us to be in God’s Presence in order to enjoy Heaven on Earth.
If we will refuse to shift those marks throughout the Year, in this Annual Convention, God Almighty will open His Heavens to you.
In this RMF Annual Convention 2025, God Almighty will bless you before you go.
This is a serious Business Convention – It is different from other Conventions because we are talking about “Upholding The Ancient Landmarks”.
Because it is time for us to bring back the Revival of Old where there is fear of God, where Parents fear God and the children fear God.
Today, many children don’t fear their father any longer because the father-figure is not there for them.
I Pray that whatever mistake that you have made in the Past; the Almighty God will correct us in the Name of Jesus – Amen!
There are so many Topics Prepared for this RMF Annual Convention 2025 to better our lives and families.
The devil has crept into Christian Homes today and it is now our responsibility to Stand Up and send the devil Packing from our Homes.
Let us be Shinning Examples of Christian Homes – That is what God is expecting from you.
Before He spoke to our father-in-the-Lord to start this Fellowship – To have a Christian Home where there is Joy, Peace, and Progress. And People see you ahead and ask you how you manage.
My Prayer is that in this RMF Annual Convention 2025, as many Speakers that will be comimg forth to deliver; as the Holy Spirit put in their Hearts; I don’t want you to miss any of the Sessions. Make sure that you take enough Lessons from this Program.
And let us carry it back Home – Not just writing or hearing but begin to Practice it. And you will begin to see the Blessings and Glory of God!
I want you to rise up on your feet and you are going to lift up your Voice to Him and say:
Father, Please have Mercy on me and give us Grace to adjust ourselves and go back to the Ancient Old Landmarks in raising our children.
The Ancient Landmarks in dealing with our Neighbours, the Ancient Landmarks in Love, in the Fear of God, in Prayers and in Sacrifice.
Let’s call upon the Lord now!
I Pray that in this RMF Annual Convention 2025, the Lord will touch our lives – Things will begin to Change in our lives and we will begin to impact our Society for God.
In Jesus Name we Pray – Amen!
CLOSING PRAYER
Father in Heaven once again I want to say Thank You.
Thank You for this First Charge.
Accept our Thanks in the Name of Jesus.
Mighty and Everlasting Father, as all Your Children has Prayed; I joined my Voice Oh Lord and say:
Father, forgive us of our Past Behaviours and Attributes to our families, to our Businesses and to the Church of God in the Mighty Name of Jesus.
Father, we Pray that You grant unto us the Grace to adjust:
To adjust and become what you want us to become.
To adjust and return to the Old Ancient Landmarks of the Fear of God, Love, Prayer, and Studying Your Word.
Father, grant us this Grace in the Name of Jesus.
I Pray that Tonight you will continue to Interpret Your Words in our Hearts in the Name of Jesus.
That this RCCG RMF Annual Convention 2025 shall be the Convention all of us has been waiting for.
As you begin to teach us; open the Heavens for our Miracles.
Don’t let any of us go back Home the same way we came.
Let us go back Home with the Fullness of Your Blessings.
In Jesus Name I Pray – Amen!!!
