Not the way God wants? Just admit you are entertaining yourself.

Show me God's approved way of dancing from the Bible please. Okay show me the dance moves David danced that his undergarment showed. He danced that even God was not angry his undergarment showed yet his wife scorned him in her heart and she became barren for life.

The thing is with more revelation church leaders get from the written, they will cancel some mumu doctrines they put in their ministries. Sebi TV was bad to some before, now are they using TV for ministrations? Yes or No?

God do smt want anything worldly. Zanku and Shaku Shaku are straight from night clubs and MTV Base. They are not for God.

The dance approved by God has no name neither is it amount worldly circles. It is not chorographed, not rehearsed before done, neither is it founded by anybody. It is simply dance that comes from true joy and doesn't conform to worldly standard.

The above is how David danced. He didn't do anything spectacular other than move is body. But when you move your body to match with Zanku, it means you are acting like you are in a night club. You are simply entertaining yourself, not God.

Bro, you can't stand here and say there is a particular way David danced. Did you read it that his cloth fell off?
Won't you criticize me if I danced and have my cloth fall off?

Pls how do you dance in church? Describe it for others to learn.

By moving my body. Zanku is a dance that has no similarity with any other than like Shaku Shaku. A person can't be dancing Shaku Shaku and claim it's Zanku he's dancing. The moment you start dancing in a manner that clearly shows it's Zanku you are dancing, then know that you are dancing Zanku, regardless of what you might think.

Dance in God's house has no name nor clearly defined pattern like worldly dance steps have. Just move your body far away from worldly patterns.

Gbe body for Jesus. Nothing wrong with that na.

The problem remains that we are too religious with plenty of sin. Arrest me when I am happily dancing and praising my God with zanku dance.
Worshiping God is a personal commune.

There are many things wrong in it. Dancing zanku dance, GBE body e in the house of God is an abomination to God and to the body of Christ.

There is no relationship between Godliness and Worldliness...

David danced and it never had any pattern. He just danced with all his might. But when you dance in a worldly patterned manner, such is not acceptable before God.

Let me ask you, when a baby dances, can you point out the pattern and give it a name? NO. But when Zlatan Ibile dances, you can say it is Zanku because there is a pattern to conform to before your dance step can be called Zanku. As long as your dance step has no name nor pattern, just like a baby's dance, then you are not worldly. That's exactly how David danced, hence the reason the Bible didn't give a pattern nor name to his dance.

And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.

Check verse 21. Michal claimed he uncovered himself.

2 Samuel 6:20 KJV
Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel to day, who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself!

Have you seen it.
And what if that zanku has been my dance step before it was named so.
I think by 2050, there will be no dance available for Christians in church again.

Very soon, they will start twerking in God's house. That's what this stubborn people who have no respect for God want. They don't know that there's a way we ought to behave in God's house.

I thought you said his clothes fell off. Now you are saying he took of his clothes. The Bible didn't say he took off his clothes. He was only dressed in a linen Ephod. It is Micah that said he took ofg his clothes. David decided to dance in the linen Ephod because that was what he had on at the time. That's even a pointer to the fact that dance acceptable before God has no pattern nor manner. If it has, then David would have had to be fully clothed before dancing.

It not like David decided to take off his clothes before dancing. No. He wasn't fully clothed when the requirement to dance came.

2 Samuel 6:14 (KJV)
And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod

If you go into a church with just pant and bra or boxer to dance, they will throw you out. But if preachers meet you on the street dressed like that and they preach to you, they won't complain if you dance joyfully because of the gospel while still dressed like that. Guess what? God is there before you all and he would gladly accept your dance offering. He won't wait till you put on clothes before he accepts your spontaneous show off gratitude. But he won't allow that mode of dressing in church, neither will he accept worldly dance. David didn't dress like that in the temple. It was somewhere else they were when he danced like that. Read 2 Samuel 6 very well.

Stop looking for excuses. Dance in church has no manner, that's why no one has been able to give it any name. If it had manner and pattern, it would have been named since.

Church Warns The Choir Members For Dancing Zanku And Gbe Body During Praise

A letter of warning was given to the choir of First Baptist Church, Agbede for dancing ungodly during the praise and worship section. Gistvic Reports.

The church said the choir members will face the disciplinary committee if the style of dancing is not stopped.

DOES A PARTICULAR DANCE STYLE AFFECT CHRISTIANITY??

The question should be, is the dance step sexually suggestive or distracting? If not, then I think this is highly unnecessary. We will end up roping ourselves into another set of religious dogmas that have no means of making the adherents of it righteous.

However, I feel whatever dance moves believers choose to use in glorifying God, it should be from a civilisation that springs out of Zion. Those moments when you are lost in ecstatic worship, and your body starts to sway of its own accord! If we've known the bliss of such experience, we won't go out seeking for dance steps from Babylon.

In a nutshell, the religious leaders of that church should help their congregation experience the true bliss of worship, then no place would be found for these myopic legislations.

We have come unto Mount Gbese where we dance like a child! In mount zion, they act drama, like a professional. Dancing is better than Acting. Dancing is an acceptable worship unto the lord(Psalm 150) Acting is an earthly activity unto ourselves. in other words, Mount gbese is better than Mount Zion. I rest.

If joy and happiness no dey this life wetin we gain? There is a difference between a Church, Church building and Congregation. God doesn't work with a crowd he works in a way we can't understand with our human eyes. One thing that keeps me going. He says be ye transformed by the renewal of your mind. He is not talking to the crowd but you. So life comes in stages. There is time and seasons for everything under the earth. So, life is been measured according to your faith. Some people dey under bridges living their lives someone in Aso Villa. Bros, what ever gives you joy do it and forget the dancing steps. Nobody should be consider himself to be greater than others. Because we are all son's and daughters of God.

I am not surprised that supposed Christians are arguing about acceptable dancing styles in the house of God. It goes to show that many Christians are carnal & lukewarm; they associate closely with the wrong people, listen to secular/worldly music, spend a lot of time watching secular/worldly TV shows, movies & music videos, go to clubs & attend parties for fun etc...in addition to their religious/Christian lifestyle & obligations. That's how come y'all are having this argument in the first place. Please become spiritual, "for to be carnally minded is death..."

Why would you go to church and be forming holy, then run to club the next day and become 'unholy'? Isn't that hypocrisy? This is why Christians get frustrated with religion. Who are you deceiving? Certainly not God.

I applaud that pastor's wife who was doing her gbe body e in the church. Many Christians are hypocrites and this is a very big part of our problem. We aspire towards holyness but we are not perfect and Christ knew this.

Many Christians are very quick to judge one another and condemn, when Christ condemned no one. He ate and supped with unbelievers, attended wedding and parties, even helped them produce wine and generally hung around people considered unclean, everyone was welcome because he knew who he was, the son of God.

It begins with knowing you're a child of God and dancing a so-called 'worldly dance' doesn't change your status.
Dancing a dance by Zlatan and having fun with it is not a sin. There is nothing indecent about the dance. If it was soapy dance, we can understand because we know its origins.

Christianity is not about rules and burdens of regulations (my yoke is easy, my burden is light) and that's why some people get frustrated when they cannot fit into the box of what is considered holy. Holiness is a process which consistency and the holy spirit will work within you over time. It is not lost by gbe body e, or dancing some stupid dance that the world will forget very soon.

Christians should stop condemning every thing, Christ came so you can live life in abundance, without fear or condemnation. As far as you have accepted Christ as your lord and saviour and you believe this, you're good.
