I remember some years back when makosa was the craze during "praise" almost everyone developed bow legs and bow hands as the praise leader shouted "luwaay! luwaay!! luwaay!!!. I totally agree with Joy that with worship songs (slow songs) it is easier to focus on the words and connect to God. I am yet to here a worship song that sounds like " kukere" or "Oliver Twist" lol. <br />@ene yes it's a nigerian thingAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499041443319430228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5229443623406844084.post-89219579445690788402013-08-30T13:02:45.578+01:002013-08-30T13:02:45.578+01:00i think the comparism is in context to what obtain...i think the comparism is in context to what obtains in our regular Nigerian church with distinctive 'praise' and 'worship' sessions. and yes i too get distracted sometimes and have had to go through the motions at other times.<br /><br />...a wife worships* like much*Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11289899006672374174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5229443623406844084.post-14707488023270243812013-08-30T10:41:59.739+01:002013-08-30T10:41:59.739+01:00Hi @ilola.

Have u gone to a church where the praise session is a party that is just a party? Everyone is doing it and attention is shifted from God to how the next person is dancing, hardly thinking abt the words you're singing, even I get distracted during praise some times. but with worship...your focus is just God... And God alone. If you notice during worship, you see loads of people just standing and staring because at that moment they're clueless at what to do, they prefer the excitement of praise, worship bores them. Like I said, it's easier for your heart to be connected during worship than during praise... But that's just one lady's opinion.

Praise isn't really praise if it doesn't come from the heart. It is just empty words and dance.<br /><br />When you praise, as in real praise, God Himself comes down and inhabits our praises. At that point, anything, absolutely anything can happen. That is why many miracles happen in praise sessions.<br /><br />Real praise is soo strong, that ehhhnnn... it will take a lot to cover this topic.<br /><br />Your analogy this time, doesn't do justice at all.@ilolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18034184376612190658noreply@blogger.com
