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.

HEALING OF DISEASES.

The source of the disease. Diseases are caused by sin. That is why when Jesus healed a sick man he warned him saying, "... See you are well; Sin no more, lest a worse thing may happen to you!" John 5:14. If a person has sinned and got sick, when  he go for check up  the disease will be visible. When  he do  a check up and   disease is invisible  probably demons had entered to him. "Then goeth he, and taketh with himself,and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of of that man is worse than the the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation”. Matthew 12:45. Sometimes not every person who is sick has sinned, but  the result of a disease in the body is caused by missing nutritious daily meal (lack of balance diet). Some  the wickedness in the human body can also be due to God's purpose even  though not all of it. "The Lord said to him, who has made ​​man's mouth? Or who causes the person to be dumb, or d...

This is the fruit that shows the patience of God to men, although they are sinful.  God is patient and he give them the time to turn and repent. He is slow to anger and    compassion for his people.  He  love to draw them to repentance.  ".... The Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering,  and abundant in goodness and abundance,  keeping merciful for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin; not ascribing evil man who was innocent would never ... ". Exodus 34: 6, 7. We can  continue to learn about the patience of God, before he brought a flood of water  upon the earth in order  to destroy the mankind because of the evil they were doing.  He gave them a period of time if they will repent. "People should obey the past, God's patience while waiting in the days of Noah, while the ark was made; wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved in the water". 1Peter 3:20. Those who did not repent were destro...

FRUIT OF HUMBLENESS

The word humbleness  in Greek language is praytes. For a  Christian who know God, he has to understand  that to be humble is the basic thing.  Humbleness is built by a Christian himself,  when somebody offends or endure you   forgive him.  For  a Christian life who has stood firmly in God when he meets or hurted a lot,  he can  overcome all  by  prayers. Eventually he will become happy and peaceful as it is written: "But the meek ​​.... shall delight themselves in the abundance of faith". Psalm 37:11. Following the above teachings,  a Christian can  not be disturbed and get  injury in his heart but he became calm.  Finally by doing so,  he will be able to stand firm in Christ Jesus.  As the scripture says, ‘rejoice is fulfilled to him’,    "Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you and speak up every bad word to lie for me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is gre...
