VIDEO + TEXT: The Mathematics of Greatness by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

Mathematics is not only the language of science; it is the language of life.
That is why important statements in life are made of one, two or at most three words. E.g. Congratulations, Amen, Good morning, thank You, I love you, God bless you.

Greatness can be explained in two basic equations from which some corollaries flow.

GOD is the most High———-Equation (1) Ecc5: 8
GOD is the Almighty ———–Equation (2) Psa91: 1

From the two equations above, we have:

God is sovereign, He does as He pleases, Psalms115: 3

He is the great promoter, Psalms75: 6-7

He can promote from the lowest to the highest 1Sam2: 8

And whosoever He wills, He can demote 1Samuel2: 7

When He promotes, even the sky is not the limit. Deut33: 27

And only His promotion is permanent Deut28: 13.

Next
to divine promotion is academic promotion (once you get your degree, you’ve got it) But even that is subject to Divine intervention Dan2: 20-21 And God can still reduce the wisdom of man to foolishness, 1Cor1: 19-20

There was a mad man in my area sometimes whenever we wanted to hear real history all we had to do was buy him a keg of palm wine and he will begin to tell us deep history he was a professor but he was mad.

The worst kind of promotion is that given you by a crowd. Those who shout “Hosanna” today will shout “Crucify Him” tomorrow.

 

CASE STUDY
I am a case study of Divine promotion born in a village recently put on the map of Nigeria, to a father so poor the poor called him poor.

Today by Divine Grace alone I have become probably the first to hold three (3) postgraduate degrees of the prestigious University of Lagos M.Sc. (1971), Ph.D. (1974), D.Sc. (2015).

The 1st two I worked for, the 3rd they dashed me. I am very grateful.

However the greatest thing that happened to me in UNILAG is that it is while in this University that I gave my life to Christ on July 29, 1973.

It is while in this University that I started hearing the voice of God clearly and audibly in 1974.

It is while in this University that God gave me a glimpse of my future in August 1975.

It is while in this University that I became an ordained Pastor in Sept 1975.

It is while in this University that God gave me a detailed description of what my future holds on the 24th of Dec 1979.

That is why I want to conclude by making a passionate appeal to those who have not yet surrendered their lives to Jesus to do so today.

Only His promotion is continuous and permanent.

Kindly taste and see that the Lord is good. Psalms34: 8

God Bless Unilag
God Bless Nigeria
God Bless You All
