- Understand that boredom only occurs when you are idle, so if you can avoid idleness you will avoid boredom.
- Get busy with the things you enjoy doing
- Write articles on things around you- in order to correct some errors or to enlighten people.
- Broaden your knowledge base by researching into topics you are not familiar with. e.g. Mind Theory, Dark Age, Church History, How we got many Bible translations, the 100 years between Malachi and Matthew etc.
- Research into other religions or denominations. g. Islam, Jehovah Witnesses, Eckankar, Grail Message, New Age Movement etc.
- Research on abstract concepts like, how does sound travel in the air, what are radio and television signals etc.
- Research on tough biblical topics like the two lights in Genesis, where Eden was located etc.
- Write what you discover in essays and publish them online for the benefit of others
- Do Historical studies e.g. How was the world in the time of Jesus, what books or scrolls did the disciples read, How did Nigeria become like this (lol)
- Write a poem or Spoken word piece (if you don’t know what spoken word is, browse it)
- Write a short story, if you don’t know what to write on – use yourself as the main character. So it will be part fiction and part real. If you don’t know what a short story is, check the internet
- Google ‘google’ on google then discover what you can make out of it (am serious)
- Browse on your future ambition e.g. if you want to be a lawyer, browse about lawyers in Nigeria.
- Learn more about your field, if you like music, browse about improving your voice i.e. voice training, how to play the piano better etc.
- Learn a new skill – e.g. Graphic design, you can get tutorials online or check the help menu of the software
- Read your school books or browse on them (you tend to enjoy reading online than reading a hard copy book, (I lie?)
- Discuss theWord of God with someone. (lol) Either a fellow Christian or an unbeliever, if you don’t know how to preach, search ‘how to preach the gospel’ on google.
- Enrol on an online Bible school e.g Worldbibleschool.org for free
- Take a free online course (do a search to find out the sites)
- Read a Christian Novel, any of Francine Rivers books might be a good one.?
