Jesus taught, “When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men … but when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your father who is unseen.”

Source: Bible Matthew 6:5-8

Don’t show off. Synagogues were places of worship where many people gathered to pray. Jesus spoke against those who prayed loudly just so they could be seen and praised by others. He called such people hypocrites and he probably had in mind the Pharisees. They would even pray loudly in public places too.

Don’t use a lot of meaningless words. The Gentiles' prayers were long because they thought this would impress their many gods. Often, they repeated a phrase or a god’s name many times, hoping to attract attention.

Jesus said that prayer should be a private time between God and the worshipper. Jesus does not mean that it is wrong to pray with others, but the prayers should be sincere and for the right motives.

Kenyan Paul Mackenzie, created a church in Kenya, it's now known he tried more than once to start a church. However in some areas Kenyans saw him as a fraud, which he later turned out to be.

The Mackenzie Cult has so far turned up over 200 dead bodies, which include women, men and even children. Some were smothered to death, others poisoned, many starved to death. There are still over 600 people still missing.

Paul also ended up with these dead members money in his account, sound a lot like a man who grabbed up hundreds of hectors of land in Kenya.

Kenya's President William Ruto interjects his religion into almost every aspect of politics, with the exception of his life. Jesus and Christianity never promoted money, collecting wealth, showing off wealth or being a millionaire.

Ruto pretends to be a Christian man and this is enough for most Kenyans, seeing a man and his wife throw themselves on the ground in public prayer is enough. Not living a life that Jesus wanted people to live though.

William Ruto has a history of being called, a land grabber, a wife beater, a cheater with children outside of his wife. However no one has known him as a person to feed the poor, give out some of his money so that Kenyan children can attend school. Because sadly public high school isn't free for Kenyan children.

William Ruto has instead given out over-priced cars to ministers, why would a minister need an expensive vehicle? Men of God who have taken vows to help others and are supposed to be living a modest life.

Sadly most of their members live in sheer poverty, while being beaten over the head to give their money to the church.

Kenyans living abroad are doing the same, instead building schools or sponsoring children's education, Kenyans in America paid millions to build a mega-church.

Can those over 500,000 street children in Kenya live inside that church? Of course not!

The Kenya media would post daily 5-10 photos of the First Lady of Kenya and the Second Lady of Kenya praying. They were always thrown onto the ground, with a perfectly placed pillow or fabric laid out first, can't get those expensive dresses dirty!

Fast-farward the Kenya media is trying to downplay those hypocritical photos of the first families acting like fools for the cameras. When none of them are doing a decent thing for God behind the cameras. Defintately not feeding Kenyans, the Kenyans who are now going to be taxed to death.
