There are generally two modes of charging for phones- USB and AC.
Forget about the fact that DC current and a USB cable are used for both- I am just stating what they are called on your phone.
USB is very slow charging, and is what you get from the USB jack of a laptop or the like.
AC is the fast charge that you get from an adapter plugged into the wall.
If you are using the charger that it came with, and it is plugged into the wall, go to:
Settings
Battery
Here you should see a notation of what type of charge the phone is getting.
If you are using the wall charger, and the phone says 'USB Charging' (or similar) the first thing to do is to try a different cord with the same charger.
A damaged, cheap, or too long of cord can have enough current drop to cause the issue you describe.
Here is a screenshot of my Battery page, when I am using a 1.5A charger with a flat 10' long cord.
If I was using a bad cord, or if I was plugged into a computer's USB jack for charging, it would say 'USB' instead of 'AC'.
