Such a person is not fit to teach anyone of the Kingdom of God, because such a person obviously does not have the Spirit of God in Him. It would be a case of the blind leading the blind... at the end, the man and all those who learn from him will fall in the same ditch.

Hmmmm
Do you know how many erroneous preaching out there been taught in churches since the era of the establishment of the othordox, roman catholic and protestant churches....


Would you also say such preachers don't have the Spirit of God in them?

seyi360:
For me I don't think it's necessary, it gives the preacher away as having complex issues needing validation from people. I think he should be able to pick that up from the reactions and responses from the people.

He may have his reasons...........
Now certain christian believers claim to understand what is being preached till when you ask question and you'll be surprised.


In where I worship what we do is to ask what each and everyone understands or derived from the preaching. This is done mostly on the week day programs.

There's a big difference between having a head knowledge and actually understanding it.

megacontrol:
It is available in the market. open-source, more durable.

In my location what we have is plain plated and you still need to weld it for it to last.

n3xt:
Yes it’s customized and available in the market.

Okay. Because I've actually not seen that kind of pan used for it in my place. What i see is smooth pan being sold in the market.

Do you have original Hummer head pans over there too

n3xt:
I’ve seen it baba. I’ve seen even beyond the board

This your barrow wheels looks customized...
Or do they sell this in your market

So a good father was falsely accused for bringing food to his daughter.

Good people have really suffered in this present world.

Imagine a father hugging and kissing his daughter because of the natural love he has for the daughter,

but before you know it, people gathered and started abusing the man that he was too old to be running after small girls.

People don't like minding their business and it is good people they always target.

No wonder they killed Jesus.

So you actually believed that story........

I hope you do a follow up if those whom he alledged for defamation will be fined by the court......... Is it Hisbash court or the high court

Ujahson85:
Before going to the East for my marriage introduction, I was skeptic because of what people do say about marriage in the East(Igbo land). But to my surprise the list giving to me was far from what people do say. Their marriage also wasn't as expensive as some part of Benue state where I came from. I was giving 3 list to choose from one or the one that is best for me.

It's never a good thing to generalize. Now this is from Obosi in Anambra State......I love this list as it even takes into consideration those who are born again.
You should note that this may not be so for some other parts in Anambra State.


Now you said Benue State where you come from is espensive are you saying it's the entire State or just some communities. You can do well to post a list given from your family/compound to a prospective in-law so we compare.

I have attended one traditional in Gboko in 2010 and i can say it's fair enough compared to elsewhere.

Alejobs:


Wike is the only PDP politician serving It hot for the APC and keeping them honest. Other PDP Governors has retired to their shell or playing local politics. A little sad if you ask me. APC promised and undelivered and they are denying now.

A bit of honesty and many seeds of insincerity from Gov. Wike. He is always looking for reasons to talk bad if the APC anytime he commissions a project.

But can he actually point to what the PDP via the FG have actually done for Rivers State especially during the era of GEJ?

APC may not be doing that which they promised but for the APC government to try to bring to completion projects of the PDP conceptualized and paid for then kudos to them. Even with the same PDP party from the FG to states you'll hardly see such continuity in government projects.

Are you done with this..........
I'd love so see the pix of the house or design plan and 3D to be able to comment.......

Nevertheless the only way i can agree to spending that amount on such build is if the foundation of the house was raft type....otherwise

n3xt:
Sure. The floor plans will be shared. My client has no issues with making that happen.

Thanks.
Looking forward to a successful project.

Nice 3D...
Can you by any chance drop the floor plan...hope your client won't deny us this privilege.....thanks.

Youngstown:
Lol.. By an Engineer.
Thanks for being honest.

Every engineer, architect , draughtsman started from some where and we have such buildings in existence. There's always room for improvement. Give him the needed support and encouragement to grow appropriately if that is
what he desires.

kopell:
Thanks, I always refer to parapet as facia concrete. Is its possible to have both as designs on a building, base on roofing design? Professionals tip in your ideas

I think it can be done with some modification.

But what comes to my thoughts now is you can do the parapet and a precast work at the edges like what is done for window hoods.

kopell:
Huuuum, please lecture us more on the differences between @ bold

A parapet is a barrier that is an extension of the wall at the edge of a roof, terrace, balcony, walkway or other structure. ... In the Bible the Hebrews are obligated to build a parapet on the roof of their houses to prevent people falling.

Simply said, parapet is an external wall extension on the roof edge with a coping(concrete, aluminum,etc)

Truth is that we all have seen it in old generation Nigerian bank buildings and some other builds.

spyder880:
Oga EgunMogaji2 , n3xt, kopell, KolaShangOne, diordaves , Michlins, uncleteeh and all my friends here, how do you like this house design, a high roof bungalow.

Happy weekend to you all.

Nice building. I concur with rotecch77.

But if you intend to do bring out the boldness more in this build you should do a modified version of a parapet retaining wall before you roof at that low kingpost( no need for hidden roof per se)
I hope we know there's a big different between parapet walls and concrete fascia.

Keep up the good work.

Pius4me:
A lot of i can build you a house builders, but only on paper I am crying looking at your so called flat contemporary roof. not looking so flat contemporary. the front of the house looks like it has K legs
Spyder880 you are the real Deal

Nice of you to drop by.......
Just out of curiosity.....are you into building construction and which of the professions is your area of specialty?

n3xt:
The access is through the main building. Here’s the flow:

- You enter right the from main entrance or the kitchen.

- Go through the staircase to the first floor where there are 3 bedrooms and a family lounge.

- Go on another staircase leading to the master suite and the terrace on the pent floor.

- From there you get access to the tank.

________

I won’t advice or commit a dedicated staircase to this because it’s not worth it.

Talking about security breach , all these “plumber wound madam” or “housemaid stole Oga’s gold wristwatch” stories are part of the risks we are talking about because my first question will be “How did s/he get access into the main building?” And to do what exactly?

May the answer not be that he came to fix a plumbing leak.

Just imagine having to open/gain access to all of the main building because of water problem in the BQ.

I always take into consideration all these small issues in my designs. The client might ask for it but my job is to work with him to help him make the right choice.

Certainly you don't need a dedicated staircase for such. It's just positioning of the pent floor staircase extending the final landing while you have the doors for both entry to master suite and tank section on adjacent sides.


I'd really love to see this floor plan.

Dubemcapital1:
Reinforcing the strips before blinding off the soil

Good job..

This strip reinforcement, do your raise the reinforcement some "mm" off the ground/soil before blinding or it's stays in direct contact with the soil and you run the blinding?

Why do you place hardcore on those column sections?

n3xt:


Is it true there’s sapele water?

Sapele water means local gin(ogogoro or kai-kai or original). The strongest type is used to mix with certain roots/herbs to cure certain ailments. Just one shot of the original will determine the degree of mental carriage.

n3xt:
I’ve done all these before coming here. I mean trying to create a solution for a problem that’s really not there.

These type of problems are exactly what led me to having 5 entrance/exits (a potential source of security breach) in my personal build.

Some design features are nice-to-have but we try to make them a must-have.

Pre-preventing a security breach post occuring.

Let me ask. What's your best layout of access to the pent house? Does it have a stand-alone staircase or access is through the master bedroom(any bedroom) depending on its possible extended usage?

n3xt:
The project is still in the design phase.

Since it's still in design phase and if it's a contemporary build and roof system going with a pent house. I think what I said should be okay. Do your structural to be able to hold a concrete tank on that section after the decking slab. The quantity of water to use daily should be ascertained so as to determined the height/width/length of the tank.

n3xt:
This is beautiful but how do you access it without compromising security and privacy.

The master suite is in the pent where this is likely to be. Any access from the exterior will be a huge risk and breach of security.

One of my old project had access to the tank slab through the atrium but unfortunately this build does not have an atrium.

Thanks for the intellectual exchange. I love those out-of-box ideas.


______

Besides, I’m already on 3 floors. I’m scared a 4th slab will look funny on the pent.

You're saying you've already built the structure and at the moment you're on the 3 rd floor?


Don't know how you can incorporate it to the pent house section. But you can do your pent house design in such a way that the decking slab extends to carry a concrete cast tank.

Create an exit door via the pent house to get access the tank. The reserved opening can as well serve as a sit out for quiet moments.

Sometimes when I look at the way we go about religious things and start quoting the Nigerian constitution I laugh at our myopic hypocritical sanctimonious sentimental mindset.

That professor talking about religious tolerance....

Have you seen religious tolerance being played out when you see one muslim converting to being a Christian; guess it's all about choice?!!!

Enskynelson:
Apostle Paul used ship where necessary. He didn't have to trek everyday distance from country to country.
Eating locusts bean in the wilderness... That was a place of preparation and not along his way of preaching to people. Believe me, many have achieved more than John the Baptist in the modern time.

Let's not argue further.....
Study the Scripture very well as to the positions of what role an apostle/evangelist, pastor, prophet, teacher, bishop .....all plays in the church.


Don't bother about going through a dictionary or encyclopedia. Search the Scripture very well. The best dictionary to God's Word is in His Word.

Valid points!

Over 500 houses in my neighborhood are suffering water shortage because of No 6. We dredged the stream behind my lot and the water level went down in the whole area But since I’m not affected, I just moveeeee on without worries.

I’m still looking at ways to solve problem No. 3 & 4 after I did my concrete floor without considering the future needs of the building(s).

Good morning this morning!

How does the water in a dredged stream lead to shortage of ground water from aquifers beneath the earth for local usage via pumps?

Princewell2012:
Yes, I have actually asked our resident pastor about it , and he said when he joined the church he also asked the senior pastor concerning it, and he told him that God instructed him to be doing it every first Saturdays in every month. You know we are all coming from different backgrounds. In were am coming from we don't do it either. So thats why am inquisitive about it.
Anyway am very close to both of them, you know this is ministry, there is no much you can do.

Though when the senior pastor was ministering about it he said the purpose is for the financial progress of the members .

God bless you so much for your time.

That is one of the reasons I requested you find out from your pastor. Every church has its own doctrine............. But what you should ask God through His Spirit for is if that church doctrine is in line with His Word as written in the Scripture/Holy Bible.

Do well to have a personal study of the Holy Bible and meditate on the Word of God.

The prosperity of man is first in the knowledge of Christ Jesus and the right understanding of His Word.

There are various forms of knowledge........
Knowledge from God grows in man and worketh incorruptible things and the Holy Spirit betters man's understanding daily as he meditates on God's Word.

Shalom.

Princewell2012:
Thank you so much for your input. Am really grateful.

Hmm you know in Holy communion we are asked to do it continually. Is it the same with feet washing? Thank you.

You're welcome.
It's important you find out why your church is doing feet washing to enable you get more knowledge about it.

The church I attend we don't do feet washing.

Feet washing and taking Communion are two different things entirely.
Communion taking is done in respect to keeping the remembrance of the death and resurrection of Christ Jesus. It's expected that you have a right standing with God before partaking in it.

Enskynelson:
Owning? Stop generalizing. Some remain the properties of the Church and not the Pastor's. If a General Overseer must visit to see to different programmes, in a year, the schedules are always too much that if a commercial airliner mess u up, no one will tell u to pray or wish the ministry has a jet. Flying in a jet is luxury if your purpose flying it is to catch fun. I don't see anything luxury about what genuine Pastors do. They don't even enjoy anything on Earth here. The things you all think they are enjoying, they don't even have time for them in a way you all think.
Evangelism in a commercial liner is fine. But there's when the schedule does not permit such. Also, stop thinking that the fact that 'they own' a jet means they will not fly commercial at all again. It's not.

When a GO dies then you'll know if that jet is church property or personal property. I see you keep mentioning geninue pastor.

I do not know what you mean by enjoyment. Nevertheless If they don't enjoy anything here on earth then let's see how many of them will give their riches to the very less privilege in their church.

The best enjoyment anyone can have is to have Christ Jesus in one's life.

Happy New Month of March. May the windows of heaven be open to you and yours to receive special and unique blessings and favour from God in Jesus name, Amen.

Enskynelson:
I get your point. It is true the disciples achieved a lot without jets and the equal as in their days but note that however even in their days, Paul achieved much more because he was able to move (check Paul's Missionary Journey). Every person have their vision.
Let me ask u this. Do u think it is a luxury for a Church that has branches in about 170 countries to have a jet to facilitate their work? Why on Earth do we all see jet as luxury especially when the work demands such to make it efficient? Is it the buying it that's a luxury or u see seating in a jet as an enjoyment? I have a different view sincerely. To me, luxury is not just anything expensive but something expensive that you don't really need or not so important. Do u think a jet will make their work more efficient or not? Do you see any need for it or not? That's the question. Real Pastors don't have time for enjoyment. The don't enjoy food (spends many days of the year fasting). They don't enjoy sleep (stay up to pray every nights)... Have u asked yourself how the real men of God cope with the enormous work?

There's a reason I keep saying read your Bible well....

A church has 170 branches ............and the G.O deems it fit to appoint other pastors to stay as resident pastors and each local branch have their own executives even to executives based on zones/districts.........

Now the real question is with all this setup who truly is the CEO of the church?
Who supervises the church.....the pastor or the God?
Or you still think a church business can be likened to that of dangote business.....

I do not know what you mean by efficiency of jet usage!!!!! Like I asked, is it the jet that carries the message of God or the man?

Do you know how many people God will use the pastor to minister to of he enters a public plane even if he books the VVIP section?


I do not know how they cope to do God's work. All I know is that men are vessels to do God's work. Do you know how John the Baptist coped in the wilderness eating honey and carmel meat to do God's work?
Do you know how Prophet Elijah coped in doing God's work when he was fed by God with meat through ravens.........

You said Paul achieved much because he moved......what was he mode of movement,.,...., simply put as a commoner. Just the same way Christ Jesus did.


Do you not think they could also have used chariots of horses which I would say is the fastest on land or even own a ship of their own if they were to go on sea.........at least just to facilitate the work as you put it

zuraking:
What's your view on this pop design and the painting done on it?

Tho just 3-4 lights will be there. I don't like too much light.

It's not about the number of lights but the illumination to the area of coverage.....

So if you're going for only max of 4 lights ensure the wattage for each bulb gives the required illumination to the area.

Princewell2012:
If you're the one will you ask him? I know it is biblical and it is in the Bible, but I just want to know the basic meaning for feet washing. I can also learn from you, don't you think so?

Please try and create a relationship with your pastor. Also if you see that as a hard task then do that with your house fellowship leader or Sunday school teacher or any other senior pastor you're drawn to.

I ask my pastor questions as it concerns the Scripture pertaining to things I don't understand.

I wanted you to know from your pastor so you know your ministry's view as to why they do feet washing.



Now if you read the Scriptures carefully the reason why Jesus did such to His disciples was to let them know that even as they were called to lead as leaders they ought to be servants and not lord themselves over others.

Another is that every one is expected to cater for his/her fellow brethren spiritually and physically according to what he/she possess in love willingly.

Also it's another form of cleaning/cleansing that keeps the church as one in Christ. This last was why Jesus said this to Peter .....John.13.8 - Peter said to Him, "You shall never wash my feet!" Jesus answered him, "If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me"

The bold here speaks about cleansing and final commissioning for His disciples to carry on the work of God from where Jesus will leave them as He was to be crucified.

The verse below is a conclusion to that...

John.13.20 - Most assuredly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me."

Enskynelson:
Are u serious with the question or u are being sarcastic?
Apostle Paul had several missionary journey that if there were jets then and he had one, he would have achieved more!
Agree with me that to Christians, Church is a serious business. In fact, the Bible makes us to understand that winning soul is the great commission. If Dangote whose business is not serious to Christians as to winning souls NEED a jet to facilitate his business, how much more a General Overseer. Your problem and the problem of many other person's is that, they see private jet as luxury. Yes, you are right. It is a luxury but to only those who it doesn't seem an essential property to help facilitate the business.
Some real Men Of God don't get good sleep, they are up praying for many hours all day. Some fast for most days of the year. They don't even have time for their family. The have Branches all over the world to oversee... Just imagine any franchise of such and the CEO has a private jet. Would u consider it a luxury?

Read your Bible very well and maybe if you've got the spirit to discern you'll understand the question I asked you..........


Do you not know that Jesus and any of His disciples could have chosen to ride on chariots of horses to go about doing this same business of God but did in the way as written in the Scriptures.......


It's not the jet that conveys the message of God.

Maybe having a jet is of necessity but looking at the way it's been used says it's a luxury.
