Pastor Clement Osas Comments
THE INDEFATIGABLE SPIRITUAL TRIALBRAZER
The servant of God, Dr Ernest Odogba, General Overseer-Covenant Life Ministry International is indeed an Icon in this present dispensation for his tremendous contributions to revival and reawaking of today’s Christianity. A mentor to thousands of up-coming ministers of God including my humble self. His exemplary life of total humility is one of the binding sites for his numerous followers and admirers. His down to earth way of life is enviable by other great men of God who follow the footsteps of our Lord Jesus. He preferred to serve others rather than to be served irrespective of age, gender and background. The pathfinder is a reliable and dependable God’s General of the 21st century.
God has used the servant of God to wrought special miracles just like the biblical days of Apostle Paul. This is a confirmation of his commission into kingdom work by Jesus Christ Himself who appeared to him at his tender age. During the Dunamis Fire Conference, now International Gathering of Conquerors (IGC), a power packed annual programme of the ministry, diverse miracles are recorded. For example, the 2009 edition of the conference held at the open field of Ungwan Maichibi in Kaduna, Nigeria, a middle age woman who was having a large mass of goitre bulgling down her neck got disappeared instantly after his ministration. At the same conference, A lawyer who was totally blind and was led to the venue of the programme by his relatives received his sight, also a deaf and dumb teenage girl began to hear and speak at the programme, to mention but a few, Till date, the annual fire conference has been recording diverse miracles, beyond human comprehension. He uses his gift freely to the glory of God without demanding any form of gift in return.
The rugged Evangelist and Pastor is also a notable Teacher of high repute. His inspirational bible dissection, analysis, incisive and exposition teaching makes the Word of God looks more real, factual and comprehensible. His passion for soul winning is second to none. Evangelism is his watch word. He has created and established different arms for this purpose with the ultimate aim to populate heaven. He organizes programmers for the prostitutes and drunkards with many giving their lives to Christ. “WOMAN WHY WEEPEST THOU?” is a programme he organizes for the women that are hurt. “MINISTER FELLOWSHIP LEAGUE” is a forum he initiated with the aim of maintaining ministerial standard, church growth and fresh fire for effective ministry with all ministers irrespective of denomination to foster better relations and unity within the body of Christ.
A prolific and inspirational author, he has written many books ranging from marriage stability, financial empowerment, spiritual warfare, socio-psychological reformation and daily devotional -MIGHTY WORRIOR. He has used his wealth of experience in the ministry and mental acumen to put down in writing for our benefit and to be blessing to this generation. His books are not only educative and instructive but also carry divine power. A lots of testimonies have been shared by different people who used his books to neutralize the power of wicked and satanic manipulation
Ernest Odogba is an epitome of simplicity and humility, a humanitarian and philanthropist whose house is open to all irrespective of gender and background, The less privileged sought solace in his open door policy in putting smiles on all faces. He is a source of encouragement to many people.
Married to a virtuous woman, a mother in Israel with total humility, my beloved Mummy, Pastor Helen Odogba. They are blessed with children among whom is Pastor Jeffrey Odogba who is doing exploit for the Lord
PASTOR CLEMENT OSAS
Evangelism
Soul winning is the heart beat of Jesus Christ. Go ye into the world and preach …. Is the last assignment given to believers before He left. The best way of winning soul is one on one evangelism. If every believe have that soul winning vision and win one person to Christ in a year and disciple him to maturity and also win a soul in a year we will depopulate hell to populate heaven. In no time we win them all.
There are people waiting to hear the good news of the love and forgiving grace of Jesus Christ we have to look for them. Look for the right person whose heart God has pre arrange for the gospel. Not everyone will listen to you but the right person will listen and follow you. Spend you time and resources until he follows you to church feed him with God's word in prayer, attending Bible Study, prayer meeting and Sunday services the make sure he join the circle of winning souls. Until this is accomplished within the year we have not fulfil the "Go ye" assignment
To achieve this:
1. Look around in your neighbourhood, office or school
2. Tell them the need to share the love and good news of Jesus with them. (If he did not accept look for someone else, if he accept go to the next step)
3. Share your personal experience with your life without Christ and point him to know the new, happy, hopeful life you now have in Christ. Point him to the peace you now have in Christ and how God loved him and wants him to believe in Him and serve Him with all his heart.
4. Lead him in the repentance prayer if he accept to receive Christ as Lord and Saviour
5. After the prayer call him/her your brother/sister take his contact address and phone number
6. Tell him your church activity and invite him to church. You can actually to to his house on Sunday morning and bring him to church.
7. After church service look for him and introduce him to your friends in church and make him belong so he feel it is a home not a visitor
Take 5 to 10 minutes everyday to pray for him. Sent text messages to him almost every other day.
One of the fastest growing church in the Middle East is Iran which started with one affecting another person within the Moslem community.

Advocate International Schools
ADVOCATE INTERNATIONAL SCHOOLS
THE JOURNEY SO FAR
Advocate International Schools is a conventional Western Education School located in Kaduna City, Kaduna State, Nigeria. It was inaugurated on the 12thof September, 2012.
The school was founded by Rev. (Dr) Ernest Odogba out of his vision for raising a generation of Nigerians who would be of benefit to the Nigerian society and the world at large. From inception, this school has been committed to taking care of the three learning domain of the child, which are the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. It has well trained staff with good education background and several years of teaching experience.
The location of the school, being in a serene environment has helped in making learning very effective, while training these young ones intellectually. The school also lays emphasis on developing the moral and spiritual lives of its pupils and students.
When the school was inaugurated in 2012, it started with a total number of 40 students and 19 teaching and non-teaching staff. It commenced with pre-nursery, nursery 1 & 2, primary 1 -5, JSS1 and JSS 2 classes. Presently the number of pupils / students in the school has shoot up to 203 students and 30 teaching and non-teaching staff. It has also developed to have JSS 1 – 3 classes and SSS 1 -3 classes. In 2013, some classes had to split into two because of the large number of students in them.
As a result of the population and the need to meet the required standard in education, the building of the school had to be raised from one storey to two story building in order to provide more classes.
Advocate International Schools has well-equipped Science and Home economic laboratories to help students learn practicals. It also has a large examination hall which is capable of carrying over 400 students. There are several extra-curricular activities observed in the school, but the notable ones are the Speech and Prize Giving Day, Cultural Day, Spelling Competition and Cooking Week. Club activities like Press club, Literary and Debating Society, Jets club are also available.
Presently, the school having met the standard required by the Ministry of Education, has an approved and registered centre for Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) which is necessary for the transition of students from secondary school to tertiary institutions.
Plans are on to link the school with international institutions so that students of Advocate International Schools can go on facility visits to countries like United State of America, France and Canada as it works with a Canadian educationist, Raymond Botten. Next year 2016, it will be graduating its first set of senior secondary school students.
Little drops of water they say make an ocean. However, Advocate International Schools has taken giant strides in its three years of existence. Our students enjoy just about the best form of education in the country with the least possible cost. Our work speaks for itself.
If so much can be achieved within this short time, imagine how much can be achieved in the next five years with the right planning and concerted effort. We are looking forward to achieving our set targets and, if possible, surpass it.
DOVE INTERNATIONAL BIBLE INSTITUTE
When Jesus appeared to Dr. Ernest Odogba several years back, one of the key mandates HE gave him was to “… Go and teach the nations of the world Myword”. To ‘teach’ involves enlightening the mind, imparting useful knowledge to people and training them to be better equipped for noble causes.
It was in view of this that the Dove International Bible Institution (DIBI) was established as the Bible school arm of the Covenant Life Ministry Kaduna, Nigeria. The school which was established almost fifteen (15) years ago is affiliated with the International Christian University, Lagos, Nigeria. DIBI currently offers both Certificate and Diploma programmes in Theology and Ministry. It boasts of very highly trained lecturers, intensive study course lines, quality course materials, very comfortable classes and learning environment and lots more.
Over the years, DIBI has trained and graduated thousands of Bible Students some of whom are now senior pastors/founders of their own ministries, associated pastors, Christian workers and so on.
The graduates of DIBI always stand out among their peers because of the indepth practical orientation given to them. Graduates of DIBI have been known to be exemplary, apt to teach, highly anointed, ethical in many fronts and firmly rooted in scriptural and doctrinal knowledge. This perhaps explains why graduates of DIBI have been highly sought for by other ministers and Christian bodies.
The school runs a 3 month intensive weekend certificate and Diploma programmes from February to April yearly as well as a one month highly intensive dual programme in the month of August tagged “August Special”.
A combined graduation of all graduating students comes up every October during the ministry’s annual convention, the International Gathering of Conquerors (IGC). During this grand graduation ceremony, certificates are awarded to deserving graduands.
The high standard set by the president and founder of the school, Dr. Ernest Odogba is unparalleled. This is the core reason why many students and potential ministers have always come to enroll in the school to enhance their capacities. DIBI surely is top class in Christian education and moral training. We don’t compromise with excellence and standards. For further inquires contact the Registrar on +2348032141107.
KADUNA HEALING SCHOOL
The ministry of Dr. Ernest Odogba is a story of extra ordinary divine encounters and demonstration of GOD’s grace in human vessels.
When Jesus appeared to Dr. Ernest Odogba as a little boy in his Ekrahaven village now in Delta state, the Lord specifically sent him to the nations of the world. The little Ernest had knelt down on the street of his village, bowing his face down directly at the feet of Jesus and asking the Lord to release His power and anointing on him that will enable him to do the big task. His request was granted as Jesus laid His hands on him and released the power of ministry into him. From that day, healings, sign and wonders began to follow everywhere the young Ernest went to minster. His divine encounter with the Lord was to be repeated years later as he was praying in his room one certain night and Jesus appeared to him again, dressed like a Jew and introduced Himself as the Ancient of Days. In this encounter, Jesus taught him some deeper rudiments about the healing ministry. Notable healing miracles began to happen from that day. People with fibroid goiter, diabetes, kidney problems and other ailments would be brought to him for prayer. Many were healed.
In the year 1995, based on divine instruction, Dr. Ernest Odogba started his ministry, the Covenant Life ministry, based in Sabo, Kaduna in Northern Nigeria. Today, the ministry stands out as a leading healing ministry in Kaduna, Northern Nigeria.
Because of the need to reach out to wider range of people desiring divine healing, the HEALING SCHOOL was started. The school which kicked off in 2008 had seen different people from different parts of Nigeria attended with various ailments - so many were healed.
The Healing School is a power packed center where tremendous miracles were recorded every time. Sicknesses, diseases, childlessness, curses, unemployment, setbacks, poverty, marital problems, spiritual attacks and others were silenced as crowds attend the Healing School. Many women who were once barren now have their children. A particular woman who was childless for 21 years now has two wonderful kids because she attended the Healing School. People who were medically tested to be HIV positive were also healed as they came to the Healing School. Medical tests confirmed their healing. We have seen growths disappeared from people’s bodies in the Healing school. Healing of goiter, hernia and cancerous growths have been experienced in the healing school.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever (Heb. 13:8). Jesus still heals! Thousands have seen the healing grace of Jesus manifested in the Healing school. The school runs for a week once every month. Everyone that ever attended the Healing school had a good story to tell. Attend now because it’s your time for an incredible encounter with Jesus. For details and inquiries, contact Pst. Gabriel: +2348032141107.
FAITH CLINIC
The faith clinic is a weekly Healing and Deliveranceservice conducted by GOD’s servant, Dr. Ernest Odogba. The Healing service which comes up every Wednesday morning started almost 20 years ago when the Covenant Life Ministry started. The Faith Clinic is core to the fulfillment of Dr. Ernest Odogba’s Healing ministry. This weekly service was borne out of the need to reach out to a larger number of people with diseases, afflicted and tormented people who urgently needed GOD’s intervention in their lives. Normally, regular church services are too brief to accommodate such cases which happened to be many in number. Hence, the need to set a special day apart when sick and oppressed people could be prayed for every week. The idea has turned out to be a major success. Over the past 20 years, uncountable number of sick and afflicted folks have been healed and set free through the platform of the faith clinic. The blind have seen, lame have walked, deaf ears unstopped, dumb spoke, systemic diseases healed, satanic yokes and torments destroyed every week at the faith clinic. Only recently, an ex-military man was brought to the faith clinic totally blind (on the two eyes). His wife and one other relative had brought him. As Dr. Ernest Odogba prayed, GOD opened his eyes, He began to see! Also recently, a woman came to the faith clinic with multiple fibroids(scan result confirmed this). GOD’s power healed her as Dr. Ernest Odogba prayed for her. Subsequent scan confirmed her healing. Just three months ago, a violently mad young man was delivered and restored back to sanity as family members bundled him to the Faith Clinic.
Today, the Faith clinic has become a household name among so many people in Southern Kaduna especially. Weekly, many throng to Covenant Life Church to receive their healings and have their needs met. Jesus still heals. The faith clinic is a forum for such uncommon supernatural encounters. Destinies have been changed for the best. Broken homes restored. Surely the Healing Jesus is at work every Wednesday at the Covenant Life Church, Kaduna.
You just need to be there
TESTIMONIES GALORE
STORTER LEG GREW OUT
I had an accident in 2008 that made my right leg to become shorter than the other. I had thought it was a minor problem but I was wrong. My walking became visibly distorted. I could not maintain a balance as I walked. My pitiable condition continued until some few years back when I enrolled in the Healing School conducted by GOD’s servant, Dr. Ernest Odogba. The man of God made me to sit on a bench with my two legs stretched forward. The right leg was visibly shorter. As the anointed man of GOD prayed for me, I felt a surge of current in my leg. Like a flash, I discovered that my shorter leg had grown out to become equal with the other leg! Today I remained healed. I am walking normally till date. Praise GOD.

BLOCKED TUBES OPEN, WOMAN CONCEIVED
I have been believing GOD for the fruit of the womb until 2008 when a medical report dashed my hope. The doctor told me that I won’t be able to give birth to children again because my fallopian tubes were blocked. In 2009, I attended the healing school, the next month, being September 2009, I became pregnant! In May 2010, I gave birth to a bouncing baby girl. I now believe that miracles are real.

HEALED OF CHRONIC CANCER OF THE BREAST
I have been suffering from cancer of the breast, I went to hospital and the doctor said that the only solution is to cut off my breast, I was crying and disturbed as a single lady. The breast was very strong like a stone. So the doctor told me to make up my mind for the breast to be cut off before it becomes too late. When I heard of the healing school with Pastor Ernest Odogba, I decided to enroll. As the man of GOD came to pray for us, immediately I felt something moving in my breast so I touched it and discovered that it was soft I could not believe myself so I pressed my breast over and over, it was very soft and smooth. The cancer has disappeared. What the doctor said was impossible became possible with GOD. Really GOD is here. Hallelujah
- Sis, Ada
CANCER OF THE UTERUS CRUSHED
Sis. Philomina has been living a comfortable married life until she was attacked by a ravaging, life threatening cancer that took hold of her entire uterus. The illness was so severe that she was confined to a chair. Family members and sympathizers got news of Covenant Life Ministry and brought her to the church. To the glory of God, after pastor Ernest Odogba ministered, the cancer was healed. Doctors in Ahmadu Bello Univeristy Teaching Hospital (ABUTH) Zaria, Kaduna state, Nigeria confirmed her healing. Praise God.
DIVINE FAVOUR AFTER PST. ERNEST OFOGBA’S PRAYERS
I am applicant who could not even boast of the usual daily meals, life was hard and unbearable as contacts seemed locked and friends were not supportive. I was isolated, tired and frustrated. But I had faith in God of Covenant hence my decision to enroll in the Healing School, God began to open doors of favourfor me. It was so evident that a week later, a friend bought me a car! I am now enjoying a new lease of life. Hallelujah

WOMAN WHY WEEPIEST THOU?
“Woman why weepiest thou?” is one of the monthly meetings of the Ernest Odogba Ministries, this is a vision and a mandate given to Pastor Ernest Odogba to provide spiritual coverage and guidancefor women who are going through crisis and emotional, marriage , family, business and financial problems etc. women who have struggled to overcome traumas , tragedies and disappointments. The ministry of Pastor Ernest Odogba has taught these women to cleanse their heart and mind to develop a better relationship with God and their respective families. The woman why weepiest thou? Meeting has exposed these countless numbers of women to the truth behind the struggles of everyday women.
Some of those things that tie up these women aredirectly related to the way their minds have being programmed. The battles of the mind are part of challenges that keep women in darkness from seeing their God ordained destiny, but through the woman why weepiest thou? A light has shone on these women, their business, finances, families, etc. God has raised these women to become intercessor for their children and husbands. We believe that we are in a prophetic season and God wants to loose women in their mind, attitude, emotions, spirit, finances, marriage, work, ministry, to take their stand in the kingdom and possess and recover all that the enemy had stolen from them.
Through Ernest Odogba Ministries, women haveexperienced freedom in God, freedom from temptation, sin, guilt, traumatic relationship in the past, and today are living a happy life. God has healed their thoughts, emotions, attitudes and body.
A highlight of the earth shaking miracles that took place in one of the woman why weepiest thou? Meetings are:
DEAD WOMAN RESTORED BACK TO LIFE
Sister Tabitha,
I want to return all the glory to God for delivering me from death. Three years ago, during my child delivery the doctor told me that I could not deliver normally except through operation. But before then, I went to Pastor Mrs. Helen Odogba to clear my woman fellowship due for that year, so Mummy signed the card showing that I have clear my dues for the year.
So at the cause of the C.S (Operation) I die and I find myself in another world very beautiful, with sound of beautiful music as I wanted to enter the gate, my Pastor, Pastor Dr. Ernest Odogba appeared and said woman are you not a member of Covenant Life Church, where are you going? And I told him I want to enter heaven. He asked me again what are you holding in your hand. I told him it was women fellowship card that mummy, Pastor Helen Odogba had signed for me, that I have cleared my monthly due for the year. So, Pastor Ernest Odogba collected the card and lookedthrough it and said to me you cannot go in now it is not yet time for you to go in, go back.
Immediately as if a force pushed me, that is how I came back to life, my life was preserved and the life of the BABY. Ever since then, the baby never gets sick from that year up still today. I want to thank God ALMIGHTY and the man of God Dr. Ernest Odogba for his prayers and support to my family.
2. BROKEN MARRRIAGE RESTORED
Sister Esther
I have been living with my husband for over seven years now with three kids, but a few months ago my husband change completely and started keeping latenights and often drunk. He returns home between 12am – 2am in the morning daily, and if I talk to him about his late nights, he would beat me with the pregnancy that I am carrying. One of the nights, he told me to pack my belongings and leave his house that he wantedto marry another wife that would take care of his children, that he was tired of me. He said he didn’t want me as his wife anymore, that I should go back to my father’s house. He stopped eating my food. I cried to the God that called Pastor Ernest Odogba to come to my aid. So somebody told me about woman why weepiest thou? That faithful month I attended the meeting, during the meeting we prayed fervently, after the word of God, the man of God Pastor Ernest Odogba prayed a prophetic prayer and gave us mustardseed as our prophetic weapon. I mixed the mustard seed with his food and water and as God will have it,he was very hungry and GOD compelled him to eat the food. So as usual he went out to drink that night he discovered he lost the taste for alcohol, for over a week he was not himself, and came back begging me to forgive him for his behavior toward me. I want to thank God for using pastor Ernest Odogba Ministries to restore my Marriage.
Make Life out of your imagination
MAKE LIFE OUT OF YOUR IMAGINATION
Life is good if you make God your best companion. Don’t let people run you out with their mouth. Your destiny does not lie on people’s misconception of who you are or what the say about you. Your destiny depend on what you believe in your mind, think or say from your mouth. The beauty of your life depends on your mind. No one can spoil your day or mode until you let him or her get into your mind, because your mode depends on your mind.
Your life is tailored around your imagination. Anything that happen in the outer world are what has cross your part in the imagination world. A constructive imagination is a constructive destiny. Nobody can help you until in your imaginary world you have pictured helping others and you have successfully carried out what you pictured.
Man is made with spirit, soul and body. With your spirit you contact God, with your body you contact the physical world. Your soul, which house your mind and the will power, we bring the relationship between your spirit and your body. If your soul leaves your body it dies and your spirit goes to God because your soul is your mind. Without the mind there is no consciousness and without consciousness you cannot think. We are thinking being. Descartes said, I think therefore I exist. Man is a higher class of being created with the nature of the SUPERIOR BEING which has no beginning and no end, we can create and act supernaturally. Once you exist man has no end, we came from the world without forms put on the cloth of this earthly body to perform a given assignment then put off this cloth and return to the formless world to continue another process of our endless being. 1 Corinthians 15:40,44
[40] There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. [44] It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
Man as a higher being have not been able to discover the things man is capable of “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” 1 Corinthians 2:9. When King David discovered the mistery behind the power and superiority of man he “what is man…?” The greatest Book of all times says man is fearfully and wonderfully made. Few men naturally discovered the mystery behind man and walked in a realm where even God called them hero of faith. Some knew this naturally other by revelation “But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.” 1 Corinthians 2:10
Man discover thy self and come to the level of self realization of your right and operational privileges while in this earth and dominate and reign like King David. Take control and control the affairs around knowing in your mind that you are born that way and you have seen it settle in your mind (soul real) and walk in victory at all time. Hallelujah

I AM NOW A BUSINESS OWNER
BY LUCKY BLINKS
I want to thank God for what he has done for me. For years I have been working under somebody, but due to the troubles going on in the country, my boss traveled because of the election tension in the country. For over five months my boss refused to return, so I decided to put the teaching I have been receiving from my Man of God, Pastor Ernest Odogba about possibility MINDSET and the impartation I had been receiving for financial breakthrough. I am here to testify that today I own a business of my own, with people working for me. Not only that, I have properties, and investments. I want to thank the man of God for the idea of hundred fold blessing. It is specially design for my breakthrough.

Teen's Camp
Covenant Life Teens’ Ministries
The teenage ministry of covenant Life Ministry, started in the mind of our mentor, teacher, and our father and mother Rev. Dr. Ernest & Pastor (Mrs) Helen Odogba as a result of their love and burden for young persons who have lost their sense of value, purpose and vision for life and has been held in bondage and prison of emotional trauma, drugs abuse, and rejection etc. Through the help of the Holy spirit, they gathered hundreds of teenagers from all works of life within the country every year to impact upon to them the knowledge of God’s word and the investment of God’s personality. As a result of their yearly camp meetings held in the northern part of Nigeria, Kaduna state to beprecise, active and dedicated teenagers havebeen raised to be responsible to their families,communities, and the church of God. In most of the camp meetings held from 2013 – 2015, we have recorded dynamic testimonies of transformed lives when hundreds of teenagers run out to accept Jesus Christ, and receive the fresh baptism of the Holy Spirit. We also experience fresh out-pouring of the Holy Ghost.It was one of the unforgettable moments likethat of the AZUSA experience in the early days. Joel 2: 28-29 was actively in action.
In one of the camp meetings, we recorded a testimony of a teenager by name MICHAEL,who came to cause distraction in the camp, not knowing that God was ordering his step to be transformed. For two days, his plans were not achieved. God arrested him. HE was a drug addict, a bad boy to the core, but after deep and life transforming teaching by Pastor Ernest Odogba, he became born again, Holy Ghostfilled, and tongues speaking Christian. Today he is an active member of the teen’s ministry doing great exploits for the kingdom of God.
Another young teenager came to one our camp meetings by the name CHRIS Rankin, Who Joined the MINISTRY after one of the teen’s camp meetings, he had been playing football and his skills were not noticed, but since he joined the teens’ church his football carrier has changed completely. He has won several awards and medals. Presently, he is in GHANA playing football to the glory of GOD.
The teens ministry which started years ago has grown into a mega and well established Ministry in Kaduna state where hundreds of teenagers gathered to worship every Sunday for dynamic worship experience, and every Friday for mass gospel campaign (mass evangelism). This group of teenagers are passionate about thevision and mission that God has given toCovenant Life Ministry.
Core value of our teens’ ministry
There are three core values that our teens’ministry stands for. They are:
1. Leading teenagers to a “deeper commitment and greater service for Christ.” Teenagers must be helped to realize that a personal relationship with Christ is the answer to their deepest needs.“The Good News offer lost people what they are frantically searching for: forgiveness, freedom, security, purpose, love, acceptance, and strength. It settles our past, assures our future, and gives meaning to today”. We are not just claiming that Jesus Christ is the answer; it’s showing in our lives. We are showing teenagers how Christ is the answer in relevant and practical ways.
2. We help teenagers develop a lifestyle of holiness, evangelism, worship, fellowship, discipleship, and ministry. Our goal is to produce doers of the Word, not hearers only – to transform, not merely inform”.
3. We teach young teenagers life skills to prepare them to handle character-building circumstances like conflict, disappointment, difficulty, temptation and delays
Our Goals as a Ministry
Covenant life teens’ ministry attempts to reach the following goals:
• Foster total personal and spiritual growth.
• Draw young people to responsible participation in the life and mission of Covenant Life Ministry.
It would be incomplete to build a vision of teens’ ministry without attempting to consider addressing these goals for teenagers of all ages and levels of participation.
Therefore, Covenant Life Teen’s Ministry attempts to reach teenagers of all ages - from elementary to early adult life - since growth and participation does not start nor end at a specific age.
Components of our Teens Ministry
While attempting to reach teenagers of all ages, Covenant Life Teens Ministry consists of sevenimportant elements:
• Word - evangelization, catechesis
• Worship - liturgy, prayer, music
• Ministry - active participation
• Guidance and healing - counseling and reconciliation
• Justice and service - broadening concerns beyond themselves
• Enablement - lead, minister to them; draw adults to share experiences
Service
Our Teen’s Ministry is modeled after The Great Commission (Matt. 28: 19-20). Luke 14:23
"Then the master told his servant, 'Go out to the roads and country lanes and make them come in, so that my house will be full”.
However, as teenagers, we recognize that the best results come from realizing that there is a progression to serving Christ. We must first know Christ (fellowship) in order to grow in Christ (discipleship) that allows one to then serve Christ (ministry), and finally share Christ (evangelism).
Also, often times, some ministries fail to recognize even the basic aspect that, in order toserve, you must first love yourself and then others.
“Let us go to love and serve the Lord and each other!”

ABOUT REV DR ERNEST ODOGBA
Rev Dr Ernest Odogba is the Founder and President of Covenant Life Ministry in Kaduna, Nigeria with branches within Kaduna and in different States of the nation. He came from a very humble background and that did not deter him from achieving great success today. He was born and bred up at Ekrerhavwe in Delta State. He is married to Rev Mrs Helen Odogba and they are blessed with four adorable children.
He gave his life to Christ in 1979 at a very tender age of 14 in his home town. Still at his teens he had an encounter that completely changed his entire life. While in the kitchen with his mother he heard a loud voice by the road side “Who will I send, who will go for me”? The voice caught his attention and he ran outside to see who was shouting. Behold it was Jesus Christ dressed in the Jewish regalia. He stood in wonder and admiration and asked “Jesus, you came to my village”? Jesus was still shouting “Who will I send, who will go for me”? Then in response he said “Here I am, send me” The young Ernest Odogba asked Jesus, “A lot of people are suffering and some are sick how can I go without the anointing”? Then Jesus touched him and released power on him.
From then, as a secondary school student he started ministering to the sick. There was this case of a student that suddenly died in the school and was raised back to life after his prayers. Pastors who had seen and heard about the grace of God upon his life would come to his school to pick him up to go and minister in a crusade in a different state of the nation. Testimonies abound of people got healed, demonic possessed people who received deliverance and thousands giving their lives to Christ.
When he completed his tertiary education he left his home town for Lagos in search of employment. In Lagos he was gainfully employed in a Pharmaceutical Company. There he also joined Deeper Christian Life Bible Church, Lagos.
In the process of time, God spoke to him to go to Kaduna in 9 years time to start his ministry. While in Kaduna he still joined Deeper Life Church. In Deeper Life he served in various departments as security personnel, student teacher and rose to the rank of a coordinator and district pastor. He ventured in to business as a producer, manufacturer and supplier. He was a very successful businessman before he heeded the call of God to start his ministry after the expiration of the 9 years God told him.
Before his exit from Deeper Life Church he formally got the blessing of the State Overseer who prayed for him and gave him his blessing.
On 1st October 1995 he started Covenant Life Ministry. He was a television Evangelist with Nigeria Television Authority (NTA) African Independent Television (AIT) and African Cable Broadcasting Network (ACBN) and has authored over 2o books. His VCD and Video/Audio tapes have been a blessing to millions of people. Aside from being the Senior Pastor of CLM he runs the Ernest Odogba Ministries Outreach featuring:
· Ernest Odogba Miracle Crusade
· Woman Why Weepest Thou
· 100 Fold impartation
· Healing School
· Faith Clinic
· Teens Outreach
· Singles Outreach
· Ministers’ Fellowship League
Rev Odogba has held so many crusades and conferences both within and outside the country with proven signs, wonders and healings which are medically verified and salvation of souls.
He has great passion for the poor, orphans and widows and often times shared relief materials to them. Sometimes he visits orphanage homes with a team of his staff where he donates gift items of different types. He shows his philanthropy by helping students who could not afford to go to school by offering them scholarships and sponsorships. He has touched so many lives in diverse ways including the staff and ministers working under him.
Dr Ernest has a very pleasant disposition. With the gift of God upon his life, the exploits he is doing and the great success he has attained, he still remained humble. This has endowed him with so many friends and well wishers.
There is no doubt that the ministry of Rev Dr Ernest Odogba is a great blessing to this generation.
He is obviously a servant of God to be associated with.
FROM THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT
MIRACLE IN YOUR MOUTH
The mouth is a vocal organ. It is the centre place where miracle exists. What your mouth cannot say your eyes cannot see and your hand cannot touch. The heart receives witness with your spirit through the word of God. It incubates inside the heart and from there you believe every detail of that word then the mouth speaks what the heart has hatched. The scripture says “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Rom 10:9
In Heb 10:23 “Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering: (for he is faithful that promised;)”we are told to holdfast our profession. In another version of the Bible, profession is called confession. Many Christians because of what they feel, see, hear and read or what the medical report says make them to confess otherwise. Nothing on earth should stop you from holding fast your confession even if everything is physically working against you. Sense knowledge holds fast to physical evidence. The word of God which is the spiritual knowledge holds fast to what God says.
When we talk about holding fast our confession the question is, “What should we hold fast to”?
1. Hold fast to the word of God. The word of God never fails and the scripture is a letter written to you and I.
2. Hold fast to the confession of your new faith. You are a new creation, old things are past away.
3. Hold fast to the fact that the Lord is the strength of your life.
4. Holdfast the confession that you are healed and you cannot be sick. Surely He has borne our sicknesses and carried our disease and that by His stripes we are healed.
It may be difficult to hold fast our confession when we still have pains in the body. Take your eyes off the physical, the feeling and keep saying out loud “By His stripes I am healed”. Often times many make the mistake of telling people I am sick, I am weak, I am having some pains. These are words that glorify the devil.
When you have prayed and still confess sickness, pains, you have nullified your prayers. This is one of the hindrances why Christians are not healed. When things are going well, it is easy for Christian to confess it is well but when things are bad they can hardly say it is well.
My dear, the best time to say it is well is when things do not appear to be well.
Each time you confess weakness and failure, you are magnifying the devil above our heavenly Father and you have destroyed the confidence you have in the word of God. Use your mouth wisely and it will bring you miracles.
