1. Travel – Traveling is one of the ways you can begin to see God in a new way. Apart from it being extremely fun it is also life changing. It takes you out of your comfort zone and exposes you to the wonder of His creation.
2. Meet other Christians outside of your church and circle – Most Christians stick to people in their own church and don’t venture out. This is more of a church mentality not a Kingdom mentality. God has placed so many people out there and He will not just draw them to you. You will have to step out and find them.
3. Discover The Power Of God – This is an important one because without power Christianity becomes words and a series of Bible studies without Bible experience. The Bible is not just something to be memorised but something to be experienced. Anything you see in The Word Of God you can have, if you believe!!
4. Giving – The joy of being able to bless someone else is beyond description. Now let’s be clear, I’m not talking about giving to your church even though that is very important but rather making your giving a lifestyle. Sometimes it’s even great to listen to the needs of people around you and then bless them accordingly.
5. Thankfulness – Living a thankful life brings exponential joy and satisfaction. It’s sustains peace and causes you to have the right perspective in life. In fact living a life opposite to this only brings depression, failure and frustration. Bill Johnson says that when we focus on what God hasn’t done we set ourselves up to live a lifestyle of offence. If you want to spice up your life then be thankful!!
6. Go after your dreams and calling – Going after the thing you have been created to do brings great satisfaction and breeds adventure. If you haven’t found out then please take time to find out. It’s normally the thing you do with complete joy and would do if no one ever paid you. The other part of this are the dreams we have in our hearts that don’t necessarily have a spiritual significance. E.g you might have a dream to skydive or go skiing in Switzerland. These are just as important to God as your dream to see the world impacted.
7. Fellowship with no agenda – Take time to just relax and not be over spiritual all the time. Fellowship with like minded people and have fun going out and enjoying life with friends. Allow people to see you and who you really are.
8. Pursuing greatness for someone else – When you get to a point when you realise life is not all about you but the ability to serve other people you become a lot more satisfied in life. Pursuing greatness for someone else brings out a God given desire in you to serve but also positions you for your own breakthrough.
9. Go out and enjoy yourself – This one is scary for some Christians because going out is seen as clubbing or indulging in something that belongs to the world. However there are a lot more things to do apart from that. These include:
– Going to the movies
– Trying out different restaurants
– Going to an amusement park
– Going shopping if that’s your thing (this is not always related to an insecurity)
– Concerts
– Finding great chill-out spots in your city
– Doing adventurous things such as bungie jumping or skydiving (if that is what you like)
– Take a day trip to another city
These are a few options but are certainly not the only ones. Take a step of faith and discover the adventure God has for you today!!
