Time to repent is Now

“No evil dooms us hopelessly, except the evil we love and desire to continue in, and make no effort to escape from” George Eliot

God is not pleased with the death of a sinner, but a repented heart, the time for us to turn away from a sinful way is here, God is telling us to stop trending in the path of darkness and turn back to God, Jonah told the people of Nineveh to repent or God will destroy the city, the same word is speaking to you to stop all your secret sinful act or destruction await you, repent and turn away from your sin, God will not reject a humble and repented heart, don’t be like a fool that believe nothing will happen if he keep on in his sinful way asking where is sign of destruction, but instead repent today, don’t wait till tomorrow 

 

Prayer Point:     Lord Jesus I am sorry for my sin, today I come back to you forgive me and grant me the grace not to go back to my sin. Then (Act of contrition)
