One of the questions that bothers many gospel musicians is whether it’s alright for them to perform at nightclubs. While others argue that it’s a good way to reach out to souls and draw them to Christ, there are those who believe that performing in a nightclub is biblically inappropriate.

“Change Over” singer Mary Agyemang joins the list of gospel artists who believe performing at a nightclub is okay.

According to the singer, a gospel musician should always be ready to perform at any event as such platforms only present another opportunity to spread the gospel.

“We are to go anywhere and preach the gospel so I’ll go,” she said. “If I don’t go to the nightclub, who will be there to deliver the message to them. I always say that we should not be hypocrite. Will you be tagged as a sinner if you perform at nightclub?”

Agyemang pointed out that many people just want to preach the Word in church yet there are many sinners out there who need to be reached out to.

“We always want to preach at churches so how will the sinners outside the church know Christ,” she asked. “The Bible even tells us to go everywhere on this planet to preach the gospel but didn’t say only the church.”

Asked specifically whether other artists who have chosen to stay away from the club are hypocrites, she gave an emphatic yes and asserted that “if you won’t go and preach to them, who should go there? They are being hypocrites. If you tell me you won’t go there you are a hypocrite because you do not know the lifestyle of the person at church you are always preaching to.”

Some people argue that by performing at a nightclub, a Christian musician gives a bad image, which is likely to send people further away from Christ. The argument is that people whose weakness is clubbing may not quit if they see professed Christians joining them at the club, whether to spread the gospel or otherwise.

When it comes to preaching the Word of God, many Christians say it’s important to look for a neutral place to spread the word. Let it not be a place that can send wrong signals to those who don’t totally agree with Christians going to nightclubs.

For example, what happens when a pastor is seen walking into a brothel? Will people view him as someone going to preach the Word of God or simply giving in to his lust? Even though he might be going into the brothel to win souls, his action is likely to send more people away from Christ.

Still, others insist that it really doesn’t matter what people think as long as your intention is to spread the gospel word.

The prostitutes in the clubs? Why is it that u shake head to everything thing people say…no wonder Jesus wept and said His children perish for lack of knowledge……as a singer u can’t go to the club that u wount sin.do u know that event the eyes wen have sins too by looking at the tins u are not supposed to see? I dey shame for Christians becos they don’t know anything about the Bible…

  3. i read comments i laugh… well it is good winning soul for Jesus…. but tell me how rightful it is to go into their cave and convert them by singing for them their? i bet ya you cant beat them but join them…. nothing you will sing that will be relevant, at first you are in a place where spirit of God isnt, no how you wont fall….. you will… as christains lets apply God’s wisdom in everything we do…… in tha club any damm thing can happen…..

  4. I think it’s OK if really dat ur reason of going there to preaching d Gospel, but not getting there u end up b decieved by d DONS, bfor u no it u re already taking one shot of Jack Daniel nd also two shot of blue label d funniest part is, u even forgetting dat u went there wit a BIBLE,yes, bcus most of dis Christians not all re called by GOD.

  6. It’s wrong. If you are for CHRIST stand for HIM & HIM ALONE. And if you are for the world pls stand openly for d world. Most GHANAIAN GOSPEL SINGERS SINGS IN FLESH N TO SHOW UP THEIR TALENTS BUT NOT IN SPIRIT. DO THEY REALLY HAVE A QUIET TIME TO ASK THEMSELVES, THESE QUESTIONS?
    1. DOES MY MINISTRATIONS REALLY GLORIFY GOD?
    2. DOES MY MINISTRATIONS REALLY A CALL FROM GOD OR A SHOW OF TALENT?
    3. HOW MANY SOULS HAVE I WON TO THE KINGDOM OF GOD THROUGH MY MINISTRATIONS.
    4. DO I LIVE AN EXEMPLARY LIFE AS A MINISTER OF THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST?
    5. HOW IS MY LIFESTYLES AS A MINISTER OF THE GOSPEL?
    6. DO WHAT PEOPLE REMEMBER ME FOR WHEN AM NO MORE?
    7. WHAT IMPACTS HAVE I MADE / MAKE IN PEOPLE’S LIVES?
    6. WHERE DO I BELONG, HEAVEN OR HELL? ETC.
    NOTE: These questions are not meant for gospel singers alone BUT TO ALL OF US AS CHRISTIANS.

  7. This is just an excuse,she obviously has one leg in the church and the other still in the world,and she is just giving this piece of crap statement as an alibi to cover up her acts,so when you see her in a club you’re not surprised.

  8. The Bible says don’t be equally yoked with unbelievers, what those darkness have to do with light,what kind of song would she at the night club to win souls,, what impact will her life teach people when they see her in night club,moreover don’t forget that they are styles of cloth to be worn there,so how would she do it,they are many ways to win souls for God,but don’t say because you are winning souls to abuse your marker, he says if the living cannot praise him,he would raise stones too.my personal idea

  9. Sometimes I wonder if some of our Christian sis and brothers read the bible,how can u convert a soul when the holy spirit is not wit you beside she will be paid for the services pls lets try to read our bible and understand
