jesusjnr2020: No it isn't with respect to the point I was making there which is sleeping when one is meant to be praying. They were supposed to be praying as Jesus was, not sleeping, hence Jesus cautioning them about it. They didn't work more than Jesus, so that shouldn't be an excuse.
Also i never said they should have been walking but that it has helped me to avoid sleeping when praying so don't get it mixed up.
on the bolded, The burden was on Jesus. "Na pesin wey wear shoes know where e dey..."
On your position, that's the best for night prayers. It's highly recommended.

okay sir. I get your point. Thanks for understanding.
jesusjnr2020: What's Your Favourite Prayer Posture?
For me, it's walking.
I just feel most prayerfully charged when I walking and praying.
Although it wasn't the posture I started my prayer life with, it's that which appeared to stick after having tried other postures overtime, as it seemed to be the most fitting and suitable for me while praying.
Perhaps it has something to do with the factor of sleep.
Sleep is perhaps the biggest threat to prayer.
The disciples of Christ missed out on the opportunity of a lifetime to pray with Jesus at the most crucial stage of His life and ministry on Earth because of sleep. Matthew 26:37-45
Though it was late at night, they ought to be praying at particular point in time, especially after Jesus asked them to watch with Him, but sleep made them miss out of that rare privilege.
That's why it's important not to fall asleep while praying, so that's one area where walking helps me a lot, because it's hard for me to fall asleep during prayer while the walking. Especially during midnight prayer when I need to be awake.
I noticed that once I stopped walking sometimes to rest a bit, and took up another posture, maybe kneeling down or sitting, no matter how I tried to shake my body to enable me remain awake, it's almost impossible for me not to fall asleep after a while.
So although I still utilize other postures while praying, like sitting, kneeling, prostrating or bowing down, etc. my favourite prayer posture is walking.
God bless.
That disciples example is off point.
The body was weak due to work/walking through the day. So it's was natural for them to fall asleep. Even Jesus said it. The spirit is willing but the body was weak.
emiika: what point? do you read the part where it was said other vehicles stopped, why did they stopped if there was no sign, the loud blaring horn, the barricade, the driver should be checked properly, the problem with lagos government is that they employed their staffs based on “who you know” in government
The driver is at fault. Get my point. The other guy has a point. You also have a point.
HardMirror: i understand you and i agree more could be done. I like in ikeja and know this spot very well. The train always blasts a very loud horn when coming and it is usually very very slow. It slows down once it gets to the city. It is so slow that people sell market right on the tracks because they know it cannot hit them. Once it is coming they move away from the tracks. That driver is a mad man he is 100% responsible for their death. How can he cross a rail track without checking if a train is coming.
I see, Cause if it was on speed, it could have been worst. The bus would have scattered.
emiika: i’m not sure you live in Lagos State or any states in Nigeria that used train as one of the means of transportation cos if you do you won’t type all these...
Hokage001: That goes to show you how much of a fraud he is, if you can only stay in one club and be the best but flop at another club, then you nor suppose dey the table of GOATS
Ronaldo Did it at Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus
I get your point.
Me, I don already know say Messi no go fit survive outside Barca.
But he's a great talent.
People wey dey logical and think with their brain know say na CR7 be the 🐐.
osazsky: the comparison is not with him but messi just imagine if messi Góes there...world cup winner Olympic winner u 20 world cup winner..no one will talk of Ronaldo again
that goes to show that, no matter what one does in life people will always find fault and talk.
Kog45: Lagos is not a bush state that pensioners will keep quiet if they are not paid regularly....so cuz election is near Sanwo Olu should not pay them...
grandstar: I have always maintained that until the CBN governor or more importantly the president comes out with an official statement, all the Supreme court's judgment na grammar.
