AN APPROPRIATE MANNER OF TEACHING AND PRAYING.

It is important to everyone who is born again christian should know and understand the principles and procedures when praying.  That is why Jesus taught the way which is required to  be followed when  a person is praying.  He said, "And when you pray, do not be hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in synagogues and at the street corners to be seen by men. Verily I say unto you, They have their value. But when you pray enter into the inner room and shut your door, you pray in front of your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you. And when you pray, do not blab in vain, as the heathen; for they think they will be heard because of their many words. So do not be like them; for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. " (Matthew 6: 5-7).

In the above scriptures you can see how Jesus taught and warning his  disciples.

The above teaching also applies to those who have been born again Christians. One should avoid hypocrisy or tilt when praying to be known by people. 
This teaching also apply to the various aspects in our lives. For example, if someone wants to buy a car and he wants to present himself before the people, to be known that he had bought the car. Doing so is the he/she would have been proud and magnified himself. To do so is the same as to do sin and will be offence before God. His prayer  and its application will not  answered. 

The meaning of word blab
Is to say the foolish, trivial or
shouting meaninglessly. Example  if someone is far from another person and call him out by shouting, to do so is one way of fade.

Following the above  example, there is a need to be a prudent person to God. If someone is in his home he should pray without blabbing  to avoid to disturb people  (neighbors).

When someone do a secret prayer before God must pray in low voice between himself and God, and should not be known to everyone that he/she is conducting a prayer to God.
 Another example is if a man of God has gone to the hospital to see the patients and perform service of prayers, pray diplomacy without blabbing. To do so he would have done wisely and not harass patients.

Preaching and teaching.
 These are things worthy of attention for the good of the church. The important things to consider include:

1.The preacher or the teacher must make sure he/she  cares to speak in a moderate tone that sounds good to those who are listened in the church. If the sound is too large it becomes uncomfortable (noise) to the believers. They can not hear well what  the preacher is saying.

2. Another important thing is setting the microphone a bit far from the mouth, failure to do so,  the voice that he/she would be sound  snoring and will not be heard well.

3. Preaching and teaching by speaking too quickly causes some believers to fail to hear well and understand. In doing so it becomes similar to blabbing.

A MARRIAGE.

God's principles for marriage 1. God instituted marriage when he created two people to  be husband and wife. It is written, ".... God he created him; male and female he created them.

And there was much compa...

FAITH

The source of faith. "So then faith cometh by hearing; and hearing by the word of God". Romans 10:17. Faith comes by the word of Christ or the word of God, if anyone hears the word, believe and understand it  he has faith in the word of God. It is very crucial  and key word to believe in the word of God , that is why God has said, "But the person who is right with me shall live by faith; but my soul has no pleasure with the one who turns back in fear". Hebrews 10:38. Believing the word of God. The unbeliever of the  word God is not desirable, he rebelled against God and  will not enter into heaven. The children of Israel died in the wilderness because they did not believe what God told them. "And to whom was outraged forty years? Not those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? And to whom did he swear that they would not enter into his rest (heaven), except those who were disobedient? So we see that they could not enter because of their unbelief...
