Ukuts gp: Is like some people definitely does not know the difference between church and disco hall.

On sunday when you go to church, during the praises you will see people dancing Azonto and Makossa.
You will see young boys and girls rocking, dancing Azonto and makossa style.

I dont know why people who say they christians are dancing such worldly dance which are invented from the kingdom of darkness.
I cant even imagine myself dancing in such a manner. Cant a christian dance in a simple and godly way? Must it be Azonto and makossa which are satanic in origin?

Even those playing the musical instrument are not even helping matters, as they play all these worldly and ungodly makossa beats and sounds.

I almost want to tell one lady dancing that way close to me to stop dancing that way but i just control myself. I dont just like such dance, it is worldly. Or what do you think. Is dancing Azonto and makossa style proper in church? To me i dont like it. I dont know if i am the only one thinking that way. Thanks.
am sure if u were there wen David was dancing u would say same......instead of praying in d church (which i believe is wat u went thereto do)u r busy checking out dance steps and calculating how u gon use it as a topic on nairaland,God is watching ur A-S-S

Actually i love dancing a lot, i do dance in whatever mood that i am, some call it etighi, some call it azonto, galala and any other they like. Whatever name they call it, dont really care. All these dances existed before some people decided to give it a name and popularise them. I am not a fan of worldy music at all. But telling me not to dance to my God as i am being led because someone gave it a name.......nah!!!! I am not down for such.

How do you know Azonto and Makossa are satanic in origin. The world is not strictly divided into satanic and divine. What if the dances are just creations of man? And besides, it is not the dance that matters but who you dance it to and your intention.

simple questions o: what is of God and whats of the world? Why did jesus chase out people from the temple if anything goes in the house of God? why did Jesus say we should give to caesar what belongs to caesar and to God whats of God? if we can dance what originated from clubs and dancehalls in the house of God, then why cant we sing club songs and dancehall songs in the church? HOW DO WE SEPERATE THE HOUSE OF GOD FROM ANY OTHER HOUSES? IS IT BY THE NAME ALONE OR BY THE ACTIVITIES IN THE HOUSE OF GOD?

Well as for me, I don't think there is anything wrong with that, as long they are dancing it to the glory of God and is from their heart.
Re: Why Are People Dancing Azonto And Makossa In Church? by Deschil: 2:59pm On Nov 03, 2013
I believe people should express themselves in dance before God. So long as the dance is neither indecent nor se.xually provocative. Makossa, azonto and skelewu are quite provocative. The winner of Davido's skelewu dance competition would be provocative particularly to a gay guy & even I, a female, was embarassed by the video.

I don t think dancing all these dances in church is good because almost every form of dance brings the attention of men to the hips of the ladies Would we say that God is being glorified in that case where the object of attention becomes the ladies hips and boobs whining and shaking to every step of dance they make. Have we ever wondered why some churches uses all instruments except the drums( drumset, gan gan and all forms of local drum)? The fact is any dance that distract peoples attention from the God you are supposed to be giving Glory to is not a Godly dance. If all these traditional women start them dance like this even my eyes will be on the shaking bum not to talk of a man that will look and his mind will begin to think what he ordinarily would not have thought about.

I read one Keneth hagins book and he gave an example of a woman that danced in the spirit while the sermon was on and if some one did not look in her direction you would not know she was dancing and she danced off about 2-3 inches of the sole of her shoe without making any noise and without distracting any one.

We had thanks giving in church today and I was pissed off when we were dancing and an usher at the front said oya youths azonto( meaning we shd dance azonto.

I really dont think the issue is if we should dance azonto in churches. It is if we should dance those dances at all either in the church or not. Why should a christain dance azonto in the first place?

Our traditional dances also do not help matters either, a Niger delta woman be clapping abo abo abo,and the bum will be shaking in response, A Yoruba also will dance and shake bum, infact there is hardly any traditional dance by female in which shaking of bum is not involved and then all attention is on the shaking bumbum not on God.

A lot of things have been introduced to the church, different forms of dances, even ballet dance that they would not wear legging under the very free skirt and by the time they whirl around you would almost be seeing undies and also back up singers dancing azonto on the alter and also strange choreography that doesnt look christain, It may look very normal but its abnormal. Gone are the days when people are touched and give their lives to christ during choir ministration. They have even started drumming to hymns to make them danceable just to shake body haba.

I think its high time we just sing only hymns jare
Those that worship him must do so in spirit and in truth and you can not worship In spirit with all these dances

You don't get it, do you? Nothing is of the ordinary in this world,so with dance steps. These dance steps have their different origins, a dance solely dedicated to induce lustful desires and evil thoughts will never give God glory. You can't copy what they do in club houses and replicate in church,it is an error,we could as well bring the cigarettes in clubs to the house of God to smoke. You don't have to see it written in black and white to know what is wrong.

undecided what I just answered your question. How do u reason? Jesus didn't have to repeat everything written in the scriptures. It already written that we shd use instruments to praise him. Even a baby dances when u sing to him/her. David danced and God didn't rebuke him

Ukuts gp: skelewu too? Amazing.
People can dance in church but it should nt be d worldly type.

LMAO!!!!!!

Correct me if I am wrong, but our creator gave us the gift of rhythm in the first place!! grin
Ever see a baby dance? No one teaches a child to dance and yet when music plays they naturally bounce up and down. THAT IS A NATURAL. THAT IS A GIFT FROM GOD!! kiss Music IS the only true language of man and dancing is a natural reaction to music, why? because it touches the soul. And the last time I checked we connect to God by way of the soul or our inner beings.

"worldy dancing" please, GTHOH with that cultish mentality! angry

To further prove my point, doctors/scientists have proven dancing/exercise and laughter
are among the BEST ways to relieve stress naturally, yet you are complaining? tongue

O.T.I.S:
because christianity has become a global joke, pastors read the bible and interpret it to their own advantages.
people no longer do anything unless its approved by pentecostal fraudsters a.k.a men-of-god. men who have made christianity to depend on their own charisma, some of those pastors are even telling their sheep that christianity is not a religion lol!

in the past we have pictures of jesus in our houses and cars but today we have pictures of pastors and their wives.
oh yes!! you can dance azonto, and shake/flaunt ur bobby and bom-bom all you like, as long as 'thou bringeth thy tithe to the house of thy lord thy lord shalleth blesseth thou'

The church has been infested, contaminated with many shameful things in the name of God does not look at the outward appearance but the heart. I ask a question but people refused to give me an answer. I said, if Jesus was to dance now, would he dance Azonto, makossa and skelewu style? If Jesus dance that way many of u would be d first to crucify him again and u are here posting trash. Hypocritical pharisees.
