REPENT OR PERISH
David Abankwah
SERIES: Day 1
And saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. REPENT, AND BELIEVE IN THE GOSPEL.”
-Mark 1:15 | NKJV
The message we need in this generation is all about the awareness of the second coming of Jesus Christ. It is not that God is not interested in the physical things we need to have. When Jesus Christ (the only God of the Bible) came into this world, there were many women who followed Him, yet, He didn’t give them to the male disciples to marry. He didn’t buy them houses. Even at certain times, He didn’t even have a place to lay His head. Jesus Christ didn’t give them money to start businesses, but called His disciples to quit secular work to follow Him. He didn’t give them money to buy designer wears. He didn’t buy them luxurious cars to ride in.
If Jesus Christ did the few things I had just mentioned, then He would have fulfilled the days of Noah. In the days of Noah, the people ate, drank, married and gave daughters for marriage and all physical things, and neglected the message of repentance concerning the Kingdom of God. Christianity is not an avenue for physical things. Today many Pastors are working for the Antichrist teaching the church that if you are not prosperous, then there is something wrong. Jesus Christ didn’t call us for physical things. He called us for eternal life. He called us for New Jerusalem. He called us to stay with Him in eternity. He called us to find rest for our souls.
But you can’t get eternal life without repentance. Before you can have eternal life, you first have to be like God in likeness – the likeness we lost when Adam fell in the Garden of Eden. When God told me to start authoring books, what He commanded me was to preach about the sins that are going on in the world so we can amend out ways. He didn’t choose me to broadcast prosperous messages. So if you don’t like my devotionals, because you are looking for sugar coated sermons to itch your ears, then I am sorry you are choosing the perishing path. There are so many sins that are going on in this world especially believers all in the name of grace.
I don’t even know how to say but I am so passionate about this message. I don’t even know if you get this message the way I want you to get it. If it would have been in my power, I would have saved all men, but I can’t pressure you to accept Jesus Christ. It is a personal decision and it must be done out of love. Please and please again, don’t let it be too late for you to amend your ways. The time is now. You don’t know when you will die sister. You don’t know when you will die brother. Please don’t blame anyone if you don’t make it to New Jerusalem because of the secret sins you think God doesn’t know. You may have today, but you may not have tomorrow, so please repent!

Lift up prayers for the humility to accept the Gospel in good faith, the steadfastness to hold on to the end of times, and the needed repentance necessary for you to work the word in the name of Jesus Christ.
Quote
Because we have been acclimatised to the kingdom of sin, we need repentance to usher us into the Kingdom of righteousness.
