Strange night tonight. But let’s backtrack a little. Some days ago, I was doing a devotional and it said that we can worship God in any way except sin. Tonight, some friends and I went to Zouk. At the dance floor, I felt that there were a lot of falleness among the clubbers. I would look at people and feel their emptiness. Even though they were smiling and having fun, I could feel their brokenness.

This made me feel like worshipping God.

So I chanted the Magnificat (Luke 1.46–55) and Psalm 118. After a while, I was praising God. Just praising and thanking Him. Nothing else. Then suddenly, I began praying over the clubbers and my friends. And prayed against the feelings of emptiness in people, and also for healing in some people’s hearts. At the same time, I was praying away the chaotic forces around me. And the more I prayed the more at peace I was. I never felt so comforted in a club before.

Now I know what Rick Warren meant when he speaks about having peace when we realise our purpose. Because I really felt God presence there in the club. And I kept on praying and praying, and I praised God and thanked Him for the peace. And everytime I restarted my prayer again, I felt my that my presence there and then was becoming more and more purposeful.

In fact, what was even more important was that I knew then and there that I belong to Christ and I love Him and I want to worship Him everywhere I go and in everything that I do! And all of my life I want to give it into His hands forever.

So again, I praise God and I thank Him for such an education tonight. This is just as well, I’m clubbing more and more often again. But, you know, it’s not about having fun, not about the social scene, and not even about the music anymore. It’s about being where God places me. It’s about allowing God to work with others through me. But it’s not about me anymore.

So, my friends, it’s not that I cannot have fun. I do have fun with you guys, but God’s purpose for us is a lot more than just the kind of fun we can ever achieve inside a dance club or in our whole earthly life. It’s the eternal kind of fun. Did you know that when we die on earth, we are being born into eternity? But even better than fun, I was glad I am able to share this kind of clubbing experiences with you because I know that you have also been blessed as I am.
