:When I was young going to church was a very solemn affair. You were not allowed to make any form of noise within the perimeter of the church which was seen as a hallowed ground. I have also been privileged to visit Rome and Jerusalem and no form of unnecessary shouting is allowed. The only time this tradition is breached is when Nigerian Pilgrims arrive at such places of worship. Obviously people from other culture frown at this invasion of the serene atmosphere. What is more puzzling is that denominations such as the Catholic, Anglican and the Methodist in Nigeria have joined in this practice of shouting at God. The following are questions that I am seeking answers to from members: a. Are prayers best answered when you shout, command or compel God?; b. When you are requesting anything from your earthly father or mother do you shout at them.;c. Could it be that God will not understand our requests unless we present such in very rowdy atmosphere?. I am not averse to being labelled as belonging to the old school but I want answers to the questions please and not criticisms.

Did you go to Church on Sunday?

hahahahahahahahahaha, funny question.

My brother, de thing tire me o o. These same people that shout, cast and bind the devil when given money or anything to share with their brethren will steal everything. Is it that they were shouting, casting and binding the devil so that they can have the opportunity to enjoy what the devil has been denying them? I just don't understand .

When there is wide spread poverty what else to you expect?

Well, God doesnt answer because your prayers because you whisper or you shout. He answers for other reasons which I believe you already know or should go and find out from scriptures.

Also, as for a rowdy atmosphere, there are times when you raise your voice in prayer because of the urgency of the request, e.g in an emergency, or because you are passionate a bout what you are asking for. I don't think you should bunch all the loud people into one rowdy category.

@topic
There is time for everything under the sun. In your daily activities or relationship with people or friends-
were there no time/ occassions whereby you raised your voice?.This thing is natural.
Bible say that we should ask it also suggests that the prayer should be fervent.
In order words there is time for all kinds of prayer session (cold,warm,hot) it all depends.
