In my few years as a christian and a church goer, I have been a regular worshipper in at least a dozen of churches, and in all, there hasn't been any, where I have worshipped for anything less than three months. However, according to my personality, being a good observer, I have found out something interesting about PRAYERS in all of these place of worships.
Why do you think some so called rich men select their place of worship, especially when they become rich? Why do you think there are more members with less shouts in prayer in many structured churches while those in small under-developed and developing churches make more noise in prayers, even with lesser members? One of those reasons is not far fetched and I have discovered a common reason why it is so in many congregations.
I have been to some place of worships whereby, everytime they pray, except for prayer of forgiveness, they are always shouting and wailing, almost tearing themselves like the Baal's prophets did when they faced Elijah on Mount Carmel; yet there's little transformation afterwards.
So also, I have been to some place of worships, and when they pray, they barely shout but are neither silent, they raise their voices and cry aloud to God only when it is most necessary; yet there are always proofs to show after their prayers.
I looked to see, a vital factor that makes the difference, behold, I see UNDERSTANDING. While some pray with good understanding of how God works while majority who claim to be Christians today, like the Baal's prophets, have no understanding about God nor how He works, hence they keep wailing and shouting and it seems God is not answering or too far to hear them...
In all thy getting, get UNDERSTANDING.
