DEAR CIB READER, BEFORE YOU GET MARRIED READ THIS.

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye , has drawn a link
between mathematics and marriage. He recently revealed this link at a presentation. Pastor Adeboye who has been married for 47-year told the audience about 4 simultaneous linear equations for a successful marital life.
According to the man of God, 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.

Equation 1 : This states that love is blind. It was supported with a biblical passage from Proverbs 10:12, which states
that love covers a multitude of sins.

Equation 2 : This states that “marriage is a miracle worker with special anointing for curing blindness.” This can 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, rather than 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.

Equation 3 : This one states that “angels don’t eat jollof rice.” Adeboye made reference to Judges 6:11-21 where the
sacrifice Gideon offered to the angel was consumed by fire. He explained that women eat jollof rice so they are not
angels and are not perfect, just like men.

Equation 4: states that angels don’t marry. This was supported by Matthew 22:30. He therefore advised couples to
have reasonable expectations of their spouses and not expect them to be like angels.

Pastor E. A. Adeboye is a mentor, teacher, coach, leader, and father to millions of Christians across the world, the RCCG leader has modelled the
Jesus Christ ‘servant-leader’ approach of seeking to serve and not to be served.

His focus on the ministry, humble lifestyle, precision in his messages, and value for holiness have caused his
horn to be exalted continually.
