I see ur point on this and u are very correct. Scammers use prayers, religion and even Christianity to Hypnotise, cajole and deceive the gullible and unsuspecting.

Real Christianity doesn’t not take away ur liberty to choose or disagree or question the truth. Those are mans teachings and ideas and laws. They want to control u from the soft spot of religion or God or any other area that appeals to u. Bt u must be wise as a serpent and gentle as a dove.


There is no error in Christianity or God, there is only error in man and his teachings or interpretations.

If people choose to be religious, and it seems to work for them.... I would say, good.....

But putting religion first and only, and not doing or attempting to implement physical, is doomed to fail.....

Don't get me wrong, my reference is solely on the way religion is preached in Nigeria..

The so called god of men, have become their alpha & omega, without them, the sheep can no longer think straight or for themselves......

Even the bible they prescribe to, indeed has many clauses, against such form of brainwashing....

What is the best way to talk with a loving Heavenly Father, who hears always listens to you and loves you more than any thing.
How do you talk with a father who is always by your side. How do you show respect to a father who is standing beside you when you call on his name.
You are not aggressive or violent when you approach your earthly father but when it comes to greatest God in the universe you are being aggressive. Who do you think you are

It depends on what you want from God. If you want protection from evil and to scartter the kingdom of darkness, aggressive prayer is perfect, then for your day to day operation, going in and coming out, calm prayer is okay.

The first thing that I sees to be important is have a unbroken relationship with God.

We have differs way of speaking to God, many of us talk to God and not communicating, I mean we hurriedly leave d place of meeting with God after we had pour out our request, it is important to wait also and hear from God, everyt we pray God wants to also communicate back to us. But we don't give Him chance to speak, u can be praying for hours and not doing the right thing.

Whenever u pray to God, bro, make sure u hv reasons why u should pray.

Every time ELIJAH prayed, he always have a feedback, how many of us are patience to hav feedbacks? It's important to have feedback.

David prayers and he got a reply quickly from God, :should I go after.... After his prayer God spoke to him, go and u shall receive all..1 Samuel 30:8 and David inquired of the LORD: "Should I pursue these raiders ...

Lots of things impede praying from answering, don't pray when ur life can not please God to give u an expected miracles. Dont pray for miracles, when u re a sinner, don't ask God for blessings, if ur motive is to impress people around for the blessings u re asking for. Please is the motives of ur prayers..
Pls have a mind to do the work of God extentively. We csn talk more better pls..

Calm is best. Just check out the pictures: the western nations pray calmly, see how developed they are. While the Africans (Nigerians in particular) pray aggressively, see how backward and impoverished Africans are cheesy
So wealth is a sign that prayers are being answered? Or what do you mean my development?

Development comes through the use of brain resources. Nothing to do with prayers

The scripture says the fervent prayer of the righteous availeth much, and this will want me to know the best way to pray according to the Bible and Christian belief.

1. We all know we are different type of human being and our approach to things differ alot.
We have the cool and calm beings, and also the stubborn and aggressive ones.

I see how pastor Adeboye preaches the gospel and pray in a cool and calm way and there are signs, wonders and testimony to that effect...

I also know some agressive preachers and prayer warriors like pastor Paul Adefarasin, N. duncan Williams and TD jakes.

Now, here is why i am writing this write up.

1. I sometimes feel i am too cool and calm in my prayers hence the delay or no answer i have in my prayer requests to the most high.

2. I believe in strategic form of prayer and i also do fast and pray when seeking the face of the lord on something... I don't usually think i am too cool or calm in prayers not until i started waiting endlessly for results.
If i am in a religious gathering, it depends on the leader of the prayer points and the prayer point itself that will determine my ginger and how aggressive i can be, but i don't see it going too hot or too cool.

3.what could be the delay of prayer request of somones need I feel satisfied inside of me when i pray in my own way and style. I don't really have privacy at the moment, and i am someone who really doesn't like people hearing my prayer point if it isn't in a religious gathering and general prayer.

I was born into Christianity and i served the lord in a church unit, but I will like to ask maybe there are ways i need to start praying that i don't know or practice for effective answers from the lord.

N. B. I know jehova witnesses don't pray loud or aggressive prayer, and i also know some other religious organization that doesn't do aggressive praying too.

So which one is which and how do one pray effective prayer with fasting without being aggressive
Your views and opinion will really help, and i will be more than delighted if u can do that with scripture references.

Thanks

Whichever method being employed, we should not be an extremists.
Pray however you want, but don't be an hinderance to other people's sanity, comfort and peace of mind.
Reminds me of a former neighbour who wakes me up with her noisy/aggressive supplications.
It was not nice at all.
May God help us all.


Exactly my thoughts too.

I had a neighbour sometime ago who disturbs everyone in the compound, all in the name of praying loudly during the midnight.

Anyone who tries to reason with her to lower her voice during her prayer sessions is seen as the Devil. And the funny thing was, there was nothing working well for her despite the loud prayers....

First of all, it is Jehovah's Witnesses.

Now, you can pray in whatever position but when you pray asking God for help, does it show respect for God? Does it show orderliness?

If you ask according to the will of God, he will answer your prayers.

Jesus disciples have been praying but they still asked Jesus to teach them how to pray. And Jesus in Matthew 6:9.... Showed them how to pray to God. We are not saying we use that prayer word for word but it's a model for us to follow. Can you say that that prayer involved violence or disrespect to God.

So, ask according to the will of God. 1 John 5:14
Send your prayer through Jesus Christ :
John 14:6
Act in harmony with your prayer. Matthew 21:22

Also remember the instruction Jesus gave before he taught us to pray. Matthew 6:1-8

If you want to know how your prayers can be more effective just observe the characters Jesus was impressed by.

Jesus was Impressed by the roman Solider, who did not need Jesus to visit his home, but only say a word to heal his son.

Jesus was impressed with the cripple who climbed a tree to get a glimpse of Jesus, this man kept shouting out to Jesus in the crowd to be heard by Jesus, notice this man was persistent.

Jesus was impressed with people with great faith, like that woman, who thought, if only she could touch the cloth of the savoir

In my opinion, I do not think here is the best platform to air your concern. Many people here do not believe in your Faith, Many people who even believe do not have a consistent prayer life, many don't understand what prayer is all about..... There are so many Christian platforms where you can find help. I know quite a number of intercessory prayer platforms on Whats'app, Facebook, etc which I can recommend. I think this place isn't meant for discussions like this..... just my opinion tho'.

How do u approach your earthly father when you need something from him - aggressive, violent, cool or calm? Na you sabi!

Now let me burst your mind. No matter your approach, God may still not answer your prayers - long life, prosperity, promotion, etc.

Need your prayers answered? Just seek for His kingdom and righteousness first, then all those things will be added unto you.

God knows all your problems even before you ask in prayer. But He wants you to do the right thing first.
