I am not sure why even in a Christian home, I
felt it was ok to explore going to a nightclub in High School..well actually I
do know now, through revelation from God. It was because there is DEEP error in
the church. The spirit of Luke-warmness has really plagued the
Christian body, or again in this Lukewarm series we've learned that the
spirit of God we think we carry, may not really be the spirit of God and that
we are not really BORN AGAIN if we partake in such activities.
Going to the club any day of the week is, not only on Saturday
night and thinking you are giving acceptable service to God each and every
Sunday, is not the spirit of God.
What happens at the nightclub?
From when I went, people are drinking, the word of God is nowhere
being ministered, the dressing of people especially females are very short and
exposing, and the dancing emulates the motions of having sex, an act that
should only be done with your husband in a private setting.
1 Corinthians 10:31
Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
As a Christian all that you do must give glory to God. Can you
really say you are glorifying God by dancing, drinking, and listening to
music that builds lust within your body? because at these clubs there is no
music that embody the spirit of holiness and righteousness.
Without holiness and righteousness no man can see the Lord.
With a body and mindset of sin, God's spirit cannot reside in you.
Nightclubs are a part of the world which is
controlled by Satan. They are designed for the purpose of giving oneself over
to sinful desires. Nightclubs exist primarily for two purposes: drinking
alcohol and meeting members of the opposite sex, most often with sexual
activity in mind. Yes, there are music and dancing, but primarily singles in
particular go clubbing to drink and meet someone. Nightclubs are of the world,
and, while Christians are to be in the world, we are not to be of it. Being of
the world means to be interested in and desiring those things that appeal to
our sinful nature.
1 John 3:4-9 KJV
Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

God does not desire for us to give ourselves over to sin so
easily and willfully. Notice what God says here, "put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful
desires." It's interesting to note that God says when we give
ourselves over to our sin nature; we are being deceived by our desires. Satan
is a master counterfeiter. In other words, Satan presents something that
appears on the surface to be attractive. The allure of clubbing is that it is
very enjoyable, fun, and exciting. What we don't see are the consequences
because Satan keeps the sensual attraction at the forefront of our minds. Sex,
alcohol, and drugs—all found in most nightclubs—are very destructive, both
physically and spiritually. God has a place for sex where it is the most
enjoyable—in monogamous marriage, where there are no STD's, HIV, guilt,
alone-ness, and those who don't believe God in this are short-changing
themselves. The CLUB is especially not for Christians. Aside from the obvious
temptations, there is the issue of our Christian witness in the world. When
unbelievers see a professing Christian engaging in a sinful lifestyle, Christ
is maligned and demeaned. We are to let our lights shine before men so they see
our good works and glorify our Father who is in heaven.
If
you are in a cycle now of going to the clubs on the weekday and weekend and you
serve in the church on Sunday or think it's ok, it's not. And if you are doing
it because you desire a husband or wife, the club is not where a child of God
should be, repent, give your life to Christ and God will give you a partner
that's His will for you.
If
you feel going to the club brings a thrill or desire you crave, you will
continue to come up empty, the kidney will eventually fail from all
that drinking, God is looking for all those who are heavy burdened to come
to him because He will give you rest, come and find hope and comfort in Jesus
Christ, He made you and He knows how to relax you. <3
An
awesome brother also did a video on this topic check it out. I pray it helps to
convict you in Jesus name. AMEN
