Couples seeking to spice up their marriages may
learn a few tips from the General Overseer of the
Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor
Enoch Adejare Adeboye, who has established a link
between Mathematics and marriage.
Coming from a mathematician-turned pastor, who
has been married for 47 years, the audience at the
first annual lecture of the Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Professorial Chair for mathematics held Thursday
evening at the Main Auditorium of the University of
Lagos (UNILAG) took him seriously when he spoke
about four simultaneous linear equations for
successful marital life.
He supported each equation with relevant biblical
verses as he told the audience that his understanding
of the mathematics of marriage is what has kept his
marriage strong.
“I told my children that why I have remained married
for 47 years is because I understand the mathematics
of marriage. Mathematics is a science of living,” he
said.
His Equation 1, which states that love is blind, was
supported with a biblical passage from Proverbs
10:12, which states that love covers a multitude of
sins.
Then he said the explanation for Equation 2, which is
that “marriage is a miracle worker with special
anointing for curing blindness” could be found in
Genesis 29:16-25 which gives the account of how
Jacob was so in love that he did not know it was Leah
that was given to him in marriage instead of Rachel
until the next day.
When simultaneously calculated, he said the result
shows that during courtship, love does not make
shortcomings obvious until after marriage, when all
doubts about character are cleared.
Moving on to Equation 3, which states that “angels
don’t eat jollof rice”; he made reference to Judges
6:11-21 where the sacrifice Gideon offered to the
angel was consumed by fire, while he said Equation 4
is that angels don’t marry Matthew 22:30.
In essence, Pastor Adeboye explained that the
women eat jollof rice so they are not angels and are
not perfect, just like men.
He advised couples to have reasonable expectations
of their spouses and not expect them to be like
angels.
Pastor Adeboye was the first master’s and PhD
student of Mathematics produced by the University
of Lagos. The Apapa Family of the RCCG endowed the
professorial chair in Mathematics, valued at N50
million at the university on his behalf in 2009.
Prof Samuel Okoya currently occupies the
professorial chair. He delivered a lecture titled:
“Relevance of Mathematics to Everday Living” at the
event.
Meanwhile, the UNILAG Vice-Chancellor, Prof
Rahamon Bello, announced at the lecture that the
university would confer an honorary doctoral degree
of science on Pastor Adeboye for his contribution to
life and the growth of his church.
“In recognition of Pastor Adeboye’s contribution to
life and the growth of the Redeemed Christian Church
of God, the Senate of the University of Lagos has
approved the award of a Doctor of Science (DSc)
Honoris Causa to Pastor Adeboye. We look forward
to the day the award will be bestowed on him
officially,” he said.
Responding, Adeboye said he would accept the
award with joy.
“While I have humbly rejected the awards of many
universities, I will gladly accept that of the University
of Lagos,” said the man of God.
