Meanwhile, I doubt if a layman will be able to handle such calculations having in mind that there are more complex roof designs.

Also,

Roof assesories like the hip cap, valleys e.t.c aren't taken into consideration.
Eave angles as well as other flashing will consume materials it must also be provided for

TOPIC: Be Holy

MEMORY VERSE: “But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;” – 1 Peter 1:15

BIBLE PASSAGE: Psalms 15:1-5

1 LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?

2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.

3 He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.

4 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.

5 He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.

INTRODUCTION:
The journey to holiness begins with a total submission to the Lordship of Jesus Christ and the leading of the Holy Spirit. God is holy and cannot condone sin (Isaiah 59:2) because everything about Him is holy (1Peter 1:16). Hence, believers are commanded to live holy in order to be like God (Matthew 5:48 ). To fulfil this mandate, believers must understand the reasons for holy living and the benefits that accompany it.

LESSON OUTLINES
1. Why believers must be holy
2. Benefits of holiness

WHY BELIEVERS MUST BE HOLY
Our God is a holy God and He commands every believer to be perfect in His sight (Leviticus 20:26; Genesis 17:1; Ephesians 1:4). God desires to use believers as His chosen vessels to reach out to the numerous sinners out there, hence, believers must be holy (2 Timothy 2:21). Holiness is necessary for a believer to do exploits and do greater works (John 14:12). Sinners cannot fellowship with a holy God (1 John 1:3-7). The believer must be holy in order to be able to see God on the last day (Hebrews 12:14).

BENEFITS OF HOLINESS
A holy believer receives classified information from God (Genesis 18:17; Amos 3:7; Psalm 25:14). God builds a wall of protection around such a believer (Proverbs 18:10). He will also have peace with his enemies (Proverbs 16:7). He will enjoy divine blessings and long life (Deuteronomy 28:1-13; Proverbs 3:1-2; 4:10). Living holy enables every believer to enjoy God’s presence and to live forever with God in eternity (Psalm 24:3-5).

Other benefits include answered prayers (Luke 1:13; Psalm 34:15,17), secure future (Isaiah 3:10; Jeremiah 29:11), divine health (Exodus 15:26), supernatural prosperity (Psalm 92:12), victory (Deuteronomy 28:7), promotion and supernatural anointing (Hebrews 1:9).

CONCLUSION
Living holy must be the yearning of every true believer (Matthew 5:6). Always strive to live holy.

QUESTIONS
1. Why should believer be holy?
2. Mention some benefits of holiness.

If I was living in that community by now I go don move go as far as Lagos , I go even help move the rats , mosquitoes and even my enemies sef cheesy
Don't bring your rats and mosques to Lagos abeg. We have enough from the mainland to the island

Travel › Re: Think You Know Lagos well Enough? (photos) by rhektor(m): 6:59am On Oct 04, 2018
Lazyreporta:
On the Island of the affluent in Lagos, I rarely hear aircraft buzzing in the sky, except the posh helicopters of the busy rich. The airport and flight noise don’t affect the airspace, it only devalues the land.

The rich pretend to pray, but God is on the Mainland, land on the island is too expensive to build many worship centers.

The Island was not built for Beer. It is the hub of champagne, spirits, and wines. Beer is for the road, an appetizer bottled on the Mainland.

The Mainland is crowded with families. Life on the island has no friends. Everything is cash or ‘waka’. The roads are expensively tolled, the schools are US ‘Dollard’, and a smile might cost some ‘Nairas’.

The Island expands while the Mainland remains the same. Under neon lights, millions of Mainland ‘ants’ trample on the Third Mainland Bridge into the Island of their dreams. Many die on the bridge, many earn a kobo, and many rob the others.
1

The Island goes to the Mainland, only to fly. Life on the mainland has many tribes. Bad roads and traffic jamborees in Enugu suburbs like Ago and Okota would eventually pursue ‘Omo Igbo’ to the East. The smart ones live in Yoruba neighborhoods, like itire, with Chinese constructed drainages. Sharp guys have moved into Surulere, the Governor’s neighborhood and the best place to drink. The number of youths in Festac makes one wonder if they ate their parents for dinner.

Ketu is a gang of Yoruba women hustling to breathe. Ikorodu can be great if it gets a bridge into the island. Yaba is the link between books, Aristos, ‘White House’ and an infamous Psyche ward (Yaba-left).yaba

Sex is on Allen, tax is a joyride at Alausa. Obanikoro is the name of a man on the Island and a place in the Mainland. Everything on the Mainland is made in Ilupeju, Ogba, Isolo, Agidingbi, and Oregun. Agbara is not on the Mainland, it’s in Ogun state, like Mowe and Ibafo.

Everything on the Island is imported from the Mainland ports of Apapa and Tin Can. The sound of Mazamaza and Okokomaiko can cure madness. Homes in Idi-Araba are waiting to collapse, thank God for LUTH; Igbobi’s Orthopedics is not too far away.

There is a Lagos state University campus in every Mainland corner; the main campus and a military cantonment are at Ojo. Musicians from Mushin and Ajegunle have monopolized the sympathy of poverty, while Egbeda and Ikotun get no pity.
If eyes are closed in Agege and Iddo when a train passes, one can pretend to be in Grand Central Station. 3Gbagadans usually pretend to be on the Island, but Oworonshoki can’t get away with such lies. Ogudu GRA insists on being distinct from a conjoined Ojota, while Amuwo-Odofin calls itself Festac Extension.

Iju and Ojodu villages are hyped by estate agents. Ebute-Metta is an old Yoruba phrase: “A place of three shores.” It is a decaying dream of British colonialism and Brazilian architecture.

Most of the residents of Magodo and Omole are Landlords. Maryland is not a saint and Anthony is not a Village. Igando and Ipaja are playing catching up with the state government.

Ikeja is the official capital of Lagos. The State House is on the Island, where the real capital is. Lagos deserves a special status in the constitution.index

On the Island, money has relatives. Ikoyi and Victoria Island are twin sisters, posh from birth and wrinkled with age. Lekki is a distant cousin, taxing and full of fraudulent schemes. VGC and Eleko are wealthy uncles, isolated from others and always overseas. Nicon and Parkview are the pretty nieces with feigned American and British accents. Oniru and Elegushi are the nephews from the village, who recently found wealth and arrogance. Ajah is the Step-sister, giving birth to children she can’t feed. Jakande and Igbo-Efon are broke In-laws, hardworking but always in need. Ibeju-Lekki and Epe are the Jilted aunts, feeding on promises and searching for suitors. Obalende is the lost brother without a mind, thought to be dead. Eko, Idumota, and Marina are Triplets of Royal descents, with trade on their minds, and power between their legs. Maroko is the baby that was aborted at Midterm. Makoko is the dirty bastard that wouldn’t disappear. Eko Atlantic City has recently left the incubator, hoping to survive. Many other siblings are just occupying space and causing traffic jams on the Island of the rich.

This is how I know I’m not on the Island: service attendants begging for money; Lastma officials lurking behind traffic lights; Dunghill switch is everywhere, and I can’t get an Iota of decency.

Nice write-up op
But let me make a correction on the meaning of Ebute Meta
"Ebute M’ata” now called “Ebute-Metta”. According to Iwe Irohin Eko of 16thFebrauary, 1889, “Ebute M’ata” which full pronunciation is “EbuteImu-Ata” is from the Awori language. Among the many meanings of “Imu” in Awori is “a place where something is situated” while “Ebute” means “wharf”. Thus, “Ebute Imu-Ata” or Ebute- M’ata” actually means “the wharf where Atta tree is situated”.

History has it that a big Atta tree was formerly situated at the wharf (Ebute) on the Mainland right opposite the Ota village before it decomposed and fell down. However, with the many and different tribes that make up the population of Lagos and by whom the original settlers were so rapidly overwhelmed, it is not a surprise that the spelling, pronunciation and meaning of the word was perverted to “Ebute-Metta”.

Common, keep quiet!

Who told you that every Christian is a brainwashed he-goat like you. Unlike an illiterate like you, some Christians are literate and can read the Bible by themselves. They don't need someone to tell them that Genesis 1:1 is all about tithe.

Lol, did the word "Sheeple" pain you? grin That's what your kind is called, na. It's a kinder word than "brainwashed zombies". grin

Isn't following after fools something that you're proficient with? Which kind mumu PA a? He's just a thief. grin

The knowledge of that galaxy I mentioned has rendered me incapable of being brainwashed, unlike you. You can't even muster proper grammar to save your life, yet you are claiming to be successful. cheesy

Fact: most sheeples and tithe payers are hungry illiterates. They have allowed thieves to brainwash them into thinking that all they have to do is give their pennies to a church, and success will find them. I got news for you; success comes from hardwork, determination, perseverance, and prayer. If you're doing one without the other, or paying money for success, you will forever remain a poor f00l.

Btw, you are more of a prisoner than I am, and I don't even pity you.
Why should your ignorance be my pain? You've chosen to feel like you're better than some people this just illusion borne out of self deceit.

Following after fools really? Aren't you following something? Like I said before everyone is a prisoner of his belief.


Knowledge of the galaxy rendered you incapable of being brainwashed? Your believe in galaxy in a milky way is as absurd as the stupid evolution that you were lied to to believe. You believe something that you've never seen before yet you diss someone who has faith? You are the greater fool.

Success comes at an expense, those that are ready to pay and are paying the price will get it. Nobody hinges success on payment of tithe but you're trying to be smart in your imagination by laying such claim. Success comes from perseverance Hardwork determination and prayer? Why do you have to include prayer? Can't you see that you are very stupid? Why should you pray since you have the knowledge of the milky-way and its galaxies? That knowledge should be enough to make you successful.

A prisoner is a prisoner regardless of how long he's gonna stay in that prison. Your case is worst off because you feel like you're free but in reality you are in chains, chains of your foolish self delusion

Now, sheeples will not want to hear that there are people who became successful without tithe. grin

Which reward? Which time? The rewards are only manifesting themselves in the lives of pastors while the congregation wallows in misery.

Open-mindedness, Hard work, and determination bring success. However, in Nigeria, scamming people with tithe brings success too!

Side Note: Please, someone should ask Oyedepo what the closest galaxy to the milky way is called; you will see as the man will chop his mouth into pieces! grin
It would have been a wise choice for you to have read this piece of shit and pa's a comment without involving others but in your stupidity you feel that you are better than the so called sheeple. If my tithe is paid what is your headache? Your not paying has not changed your lot. You secretly feel like you would be better off but your pain is you are not better than those that pay. Trying to be funny and concluding in your hate filled heart that someone would or did not know what the closest galaxy to the milky-way is out of tithing issue. Let me ask you now what has the knowledge of that galaxy added to you? Moreso, what has the lack of such knowledge removed from those who did not know it? You follow these fools whose worlds has been in shambles without a mind of your own and you are calling some people sheeples? Aren't you worst than those you're trying to diss? Everyman is a slave to his belive either you accept the Christians way or any other way you are a prisoner of your believe

TOPIC: The New Birth

MEMORY VERSE: “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” – John 3:3

BIBLE PASSAGE: John 3:1-13

1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:

2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?

5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?

10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?

11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.

12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?

13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.

INTRODUCTION:

Simply put, the new birth is the creation of a new life in a man by the Holy Spirit. The new birth, also referred to as being born again, is to be born of God with His seed (Christ – The Word) dwelling in man (John 3:3,5; 1John 3:9; 1 Peter 1:23). Everyone born of a woman is born unclean (Psalm 51:5). Therefore, to become clean as well as enlist as a member of the family of God, a new birth becomes necessary.

LESSON OUTLINES
1. Reasons for a new birth
2. Steps to a new birth

REASONS FOR A NEW BIRTH
We are all born sinners (Psalm 51:5; Romans 3:23). The heart of an unregenerated man is deceitful and desperately wicked (Jeremiah 17:9), and cannot be tamed by home training or secular education (Jeremiah 13:23). To live a godly life and have fellowship with God here on earth (Psalm 4:3; Galatians 2:20) and to make it to Heaven, the dwelling place of the Holy God, a new birth is inevitable (John 3:3-5; Hebrews 12:14; 1 Peter 1:15-16).

STEPS TO A NEW BIRTH
To experience a new birth we must hear the word of God (Romans 10:9-10), acknowledge that we are sinners, helpless and hopeless without the mercy of God (Romans 6:23; 1 Thessalonians 5:9). Believe the word of God (1 Peter 1:25) and that God came in the flesh, in the person of Jesus Christ, to save all mankind from their sins (Titus 2:11; John 1:14; Acts 4:12; John 3:16-18 ). Confess your sins (Romans 10:9-10, 1 John 1:9) and genuinely repent (Acts 2:38; 3:19). Accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour (John 1:12). Ask Him to come in and dwell in your heart (Revelations 3:20). You will surely become a new creature (2 Corinthians 5:17). These are the crucial steps to being born again. Furthermore, we are saved by grace (Ephesians 2:4-9), the new birth requires that we make up our minds to live a new life in the love and fear of God (Philippians 2:12; Proverbs 28:18; Matthew 24:13).

CONCLUSION
The new birth is a necessary for all. Without the new birth experience, it is impossible to live godly in this world let alone reign with Christ in Heaven eternally.

QUESTIONS
1. Why must we experience the new birth?
2. Outline the steps to a new birth.

TOPIC — Jesus: The Only Way

MEMORY VERSE: “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” – John 14:6

INTRODUCTION: Many people are lost and aimlessly wandering in the wilderness of life. Unfortunately they may not realize their state of helplessness and hopelessness because the devil has blindfolded them. (John 12:14;2 Corinthians 4:4). Thank God! There is a way out for you.

OUTLINES: SIGNS THAT YOU NEED HELP.
JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY OUT

SIGNS THAT YOU NEED HELP:
1. Insatiable hunger: Are you hungry? Not physically hungry, but do you have a hunger for something more in life? Is there something deep inside of you that never seems to be satisfied? If so, that hunger is for God and Jesus is the answer! (Isa 55:1-2; john 6:35)
2. Confusion: Are you confused? Can you never seem to find a path or purpose in life? Does it seems like someone has turn off the light and you cannot find the switch? If so, Jesus is the way out. (John 8 :12; 9:5)
3. Closed doors: Do you ever feel like you are lock out of life? Have you ever tried so many doors, only to find that what is behind them is empty and meaningless? Are you looking for an entrance into fulfilling life? If so, Jesus is the door (John 10:7,9; Isa 22:22).
4. Disappointment: Do other people always let you down? Have your relationship been shallow and empty? Does it seem like everyone is trying to take advantage of you? If so, Jesus is the way! (John 10:11,14).
5. Hopelessness: Do you wonder what happens after this life? Are you tired of living your life for things that rot and rust? Do you sometimes doubt whether life had any meaning? Do you want to live after you die? If so, Jesus is the way out (John 11:25-26; 14:1-2,18 ).

JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY OUT:
The reason you feel hungry, the reason you seem to be lost in darkness, the reason you cannot find meaning in life, is that you are separated from God. The Bible tells us that we have all sinned, and are, therefore, separated from God (Ecclesiastes 7:20, Roman’s 3:23). We were created to have a relationship with God. Because of our sins, we are separated from the relationship. Even worse, our sin will cause us to be separated from God for all of eternity in life and next (Roman’s 6:23; Isa 59:1-2; John 3:36).

Jesus took our sins upon Himself (Isa 53:4-5; 2 Corinthians 5:21) and died in our place (Roman’s 5:8 ), taking the punishment that we deserve. Three days later, Jesus rose from the dead, proving His victory over sin and death (Roman’s 6:4-5). Jesus died so that we could live (John 15:13). If we place our faith in Jesus, trusting His death as the payment for our sins, all of our sins are forgiven and washed away. We will then have our spiritual hunger satisfied (Matthew 5:6). The lights will be turn on (1 John 1:5-7). We will have access to fulfilling life (Jeremiah 29:11). We will know our true best friend and good shepherd (John 10:14). We will know that we will have life after we die- a resurrected life in Heaven for eternity with Jesus (John 3:16)

CONCLUSION:
The hunger that you feel is a spiritual hunger, and can only be satisfied by Jesus. He is the life, in this world and the next. Jesus is the only way to God for our salvation!

QUESTIONS
1. Mention four sign that indicates the need for help.
2. What makes Jesus the only way to salvation?

RCCG SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER'S MANUAL
LESSON THREE (3)
SUNDAY 16TH SEPTEMBER 2018.

TOPIC: INGRATITUDE

OPENING PRAYER
Father, help me to show gratitude to you for your mere to me in Jesus name.

BIBLE PASSAGE: Luke 17:11-19.

Luke 17:11 And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

17:12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:

17:13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.

17:14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.

17:15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,

17:16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.

17:17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?

17:18 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.

17:19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.

MEMORY VERSE: "And Jesus answering sad, Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine?" Luke 17:17.

INTRODUCTION:
Ingratitude negates the will of God (1Thessalonians 5:18). It is a sign of backsliding. Though people are ungrateful for various reasons, we must not be ingrates because of its attendant dangers (Romans 1:21-22).

TEXT REVIEW : LUKE 17:11-19 - "THE PRIEST AND LEPROSY"
Leviticus 13:1-59 clearly spells out details of how to declare a person as leprous. It explains the stages of leprosy while the immediate treatment is to quarantine the fellow for the number of days ranging from 7 days and 14 days and so on. The leper so identified would have to cry "Unclean! Unclean!!" all the days of his leprosy. Leviticus 14:1-57 details out the procedures and sacrifices before the priest could declare the "unclean" person as "clean". One of the procedures is to offer a male lamb, oil, etc, as sin/trespass offering by the Priest. Leviticus 14:12-13. The priest would atone for the sin of the leper. Other requirements and long procedures are stated.

Jesus carried out the 57 verse procedures in one statement "Go, show yourselves unto the Priests", Luke 17:14, and as they went, they were cleansed. The fearful misdeed of these lepers was that they did not appreciate what was given to them FREELY by a special priest who did not charge them a dime.

The same way Jesus saved thousands from sin which would have quarantined them forever, yet, they did not see good reason to return and worship him. Luke 17:16-18.

Sin is more grievous than leprosy but our High Priest's blood has atoned for it and we are "cleaned". Hebrew 9:11-12. Therefore, we need to be grateful to our High Priest for cleansing our spiritual leprosy. Hebrew 13:12-13.
