The topic of repentance has always been a vital topic for the preaching of the gospel. Because I see so many preachers substitute this topic for things like blessed water, oil or handkerchiefs, I have been more and more compelled to emphasise this message of repentance. People are told “buy this oil, believe and you will be blessed”, and in so doing, they empty the gospel of it’s power, but the actual message is; repent, believe and then you will be blessed. Repentance is a requirement that comes before salvation, healing, faith, deliverance, mercy, prosperity and all other forms of blessings from God.
