"When everything fails, try Mathematics" - Adeboye

Pastor Adeboye with faculty members, department of mathematics, University of Lagos.

“Mathematics is the science of life and this principle has helped me in my marriage of over 47 years” - Adeboye

Equation1:            Love is Blind
Equation2:            Marriage is a special miracle worker with an anointing for opening eyes Genesis29:24-25 (Leah & Rachel) When you solve these two equations properly you'll see that while love is blind, marriage has the anointing to open the eyes. 

When your wife adds too much pepper in your soup, instead of shouting and yelling at her just say “my mathematics teacher taught us that the amount of pepper in the soup should be inversely proportional to the temperature in the city” and she will get the message LOL!

Equation3: Angels don't eat jollof rice Judges 6:11-16
Equation4: Angels don't marry  Matthew 22:30
The fact that you're married to her at all means you're  not an angel and your wife is not an angel even though she might have dressed like an angel on your wedding day, she is definitely NOT an angel.

When everything fails in life for you, try mathematics! Yes mathematics! This is because mathematics is the science of living. One way to know is the bible in John 9:5 says; “Jesus is the light of the world” and Mathematics shows us light travels at the speed of 297,600,000 km/secs therefore it means to say if Jesus is the light of the world and you invite him into your life your least progress rate will be at the speed of light.

My mathematics professor once gave me an assignment to do which was naturally beyond me. Upon his arrival, he discovered I had finished it he asked who helped me because I didn’t want to tell him it was Jesus I said Prof Emmanuel (he then said which department is he?) I in turn said ‘department of original science’ he said ‘so we have that department in this school?’ it wasn’t long before he figured I was talking about Jesus and because there’s a thin line between a genius and a mad man he didn’t bother arguing with me any further.

I want to implore you today if you’ve not accepted Jesus into your life to please decide and do so today and your progress will be as the speed of light.

Pastor Adeboye was at the University of Lagos, department of mathematics on thursday 19th february 2015 for the first ever inaugural lecture in his honour where he also donated 50 million naira. History has it that he was the first ever MSc student in the department in 1972. A one time academic himself, this is not the first time he will be making such contribution towards the attainment of a world-class education sector.

                                                                                                             

PORT FROM THAT RELATIONSHIP!!!

You must have seen or heard of the new MTN Port advert and you also recall that the character “Saka” was a prominent face in Etisalat adverts before now? With a focus on relationships, I will be sharing with you some lessons from this Brand War or Brand Scandal and how they apply to today’s relationships.

Saka’s decision to port to MTN after a reported 20million naira deal reminds me of the story of a friend who had been dating a guy for 7 years and the guy kept avoiding the issue of marriage though he is well established. This is a clear example of what exists between single men and single ladies who date each other for years but the guy refuses to talk about, talk more of sealing the relationship with a marriage contract. ‘Saka’ had a relationship with Etisalat for years,  building and maintaining Etisalat’s brand values yet, not having any legal contract to assure him of his future. Today they have, and are still paying heavily for it. How does this concern you? Have you as a man/woman been dating someone for years with no future in sight? Does he/she change the topic when you discuss formalities of your relationship? Does your relationship have a goal in sight? If NO, then my dear friend, kindly PORT TO THE BETTER NETWORK! *Winks*.

My sincere advice to our single ladies is, don't be foolish. Look for a man that values you enough to keep you for life. Was Saka valued? If yes, did Etisalat take steps to protect that value? NO. Stay away from that guy that doesn’t talk of your future together. Even if he does and is not taking practicable and rational steps, stay away from him or advise him on what to do so as not to lose you! Though arguable, I believe marriage has nothing to do with being wealthy. Pastor Nike Adeyemi once shared how they got married in a one room apartment and it ‘made sense’. Remember anyone who is not willing to sign that marriage contract doesn't know talk more of valuing your worth. The same way Etisalat despised Saka despite the mileage his adverts had generated for them, is the same way your partner would despise you if you have had two children for him, stay in his house yet, he is yet to pay your bride price!

So before you get into such situation, my dear reader, kindly PORT TO A BETTER NETWORK!

Finally, once you see a guy that signs that deal, I beg you in the name of God, give it your best! From the advert, you can see how ‘Saka’ danced a 20million naira dance once he ported. He never danced in such a way for Etisalat (only screaming a hungry man’s scream of ‘awoof’!). Once that guy/lady puts pen to paper, give him/her the best of you because he/she deserves it.

PLS NOTE: To all my readers, better value me now before I port o! Are you satisfied with your partner or do you intend to port like saka?
