At every point in your life as a believer, there is a need for genuine repentance. Every procrastination is a form of sin, every repentant man will lead people to repentance. Every level God takes you to in life and you have being wallowing in sin you must repent, there is no man that genuinely repent that God cast away. Most times what people display is remorsefulness and not repentance, one of the fruits of genuine repentance is that you will not go back to what you were doing wrong again.
Repentance makes you burn the bridges of sin. One of the greatest criteria of burning the bridges is total repentance from sin. Every great intimacy with God starts with repentance, unrepentance is a sin of pride, repentance makes you open up your heart to God but remorsefulness makes you cover up your sins.
When there is something going wrong and repentance has not come in you get separated from God. Unrepentance makes God hide His face from you, it disdignifies you and your entire being and a human.
