REPENTANCE IS ESSENTIAL -JEREMIAH 14:13-22 KEY VERSE:"We acknowledge, O LORD, our wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers: for we have sinned against thee" (Jeremiah 14:20). A particular tribe in Africa has it in their proverb that if one realises his fault early before the cult of elders, he would not be asked to kneel down for long.
