WHAT MEN DO TO LURE LADIES TO BED The game of hunting is inbred in every living thing. Predator animals have special skills and methods of attacking their preys. Though animals don’t have minds like humans, if they don’t catch a prey they will starve to death. As wild as the above reference is, what some sex thirsty men do to lure ladies to bed is wilder. These men see ladies as sex preys that must be monitored, attacked and devoured, using whatever trick. Sex awareness is high that previously harmless, innocent, heterogenous friendships are now becoming easy avenues for sex. Since men generally have stronger libidos than women, it is common to see the man making the move first. If the lady proves too stubborn to tame, most men then resolve to using hunting skills, which in most cases, are wilder than the approach of a starving lioness. Or else, how do we account for the countless number of single ladies becoming pregnant or even being infected with the dreaded HIV? Who will nor...

DISCOVERING AND MAXIMIZING YOUR POTENTIALS Potentiality is a particular ability inside of you that makes you spectacular, distinguished, selected and separated from among others. The difference between Bill Gate and Professor Wole Soyinka is diversity of potentials. Our uniqueness, lies in our differences. Potential is a dynamic inherent ability in an individual which constitutes the real self. Every human has potentials. The reason why you watch movies and aspires to be like one of the actors is because you have not yet discovered your own potentials. The difference between Ronaldiho the footballer and you is all about discovery, pursuit is an endless mirage when potential is not discovered. If you can only discover your potentials, all you have to do is work on them and unleash them, you will then become a model, mentor and an inspirator. HOW TO DISCOVER YOUR POTENTIALITIES One of the ways to discover your potentials is by taking a close observation of yourself. Sit down and ta...

TESTIMONIES 1. I have been battling with high blood pressure and hypertension for two years. I have sought for healing at different places but the problem persisted. Someone informed me of Covenant Life Church Sabo, Kaduna and on 16th of April 2008 I finally made my way there. It was during a Wednesday’s Faith Clinic. As the man of God, Dr Ernest Odogba was ministering, he asked those with chronic problems to go out to the alter. He told us to look straight into his eyes and as I did something jumped out of me and instantly the symptoms of hypertension disappeared from me. I was healed and I have remained healed since then. Roseline Paul (Sis) 2. I felt terribly sick to a mysterious illness last year 2007 which affected both eyes I could not see with them again. I went for medical tests but different doctors were saying different things. My condition was helpless and hopeless. One day in April, as the man of God was ministering to the sick in a morning service. ...

HARMFUL TRADITIONAL PRACTICES There are about 240-250 ethnic groups in Nigeria with three major religions affiliations namely: Christianity, Islam and Traditional religion. Each of these groups has its own practices, norms and values. In Africa, most of the cultural gender roles tend to favour men more than women and majority of the identified harmful practices are directed against women and children, which have practically become very vulnerable. These traditional beliefs and practices vary from community to community and sometimes serves are identification marks for a particular tribe or clan e.g. Aleku practices found among the Idomites. It is pertinent to note that the progenitors of these dangerous traditional practices never laid strong emphasis on human lives and dignity, women were treated with disdain and everything would be done to uphold a norm which most often is to satisfy the demands of a deity. Though there is a huge decline in these harmful practices, traces of them can...

GOD’S MOUTHPIECE “IF THOU CANST BELIEVE…..” Dr Ernest Odogba “Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth” (Mark 9.23) Recently I was asking the Lord why some Christians receive miracles while others do not, some get healed and others don’t….., God spoke to me that the reason for that situation is because of the unbelief on the part of those who do not receive their miracles. He told me that is why I am a preacher, called to preach faith to the people so that they can receive their miracles. Faith comes by continuous hearing the word of God (Romans 10.17) Faith is the force that activates the power of the Holy Spirit. A lady recently narrated a relevant story to me. She has heard of my ministry and decided to come to our meetings. She was suffering from a life threatening cancer. She continued to come to our meetings believing that she would be healed. During one of the services, she was healed by the power of G...

WOMEN OF SUBSTANCE BE BOLD IN EXPRESSING YOURSELF Pst (Mrs) Helen Odogba Who is as the wise man? And who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? A man’s wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed (Eccl 8.1) Lack of boldness is what cowards are made of, from the scripture above, it is obvious that boldness is the material you need to enlighten and execute your plans. You must not let your circumstances pull you down. The first commandment Joshua received on assumption of office was to be bold. Why? Because it takes boldness to lead. Without boldness you can’t execute your lofty ideas. It is that rare stuff that keeps you away from intimidation. You need the lion’s heart to take the lion share. Confrontation is not a crime, what is criminal is running away from responsibilities. Don’t allow fear to eat up your vision. You have all it takes to succeed in life. The machineries of Heaven are at your di...

DID THE DEVIL ORIGINATE FROM AFRICA? How can we fairly and objectively define the continent Africa. To many, Africa is the home of the black people, to some it is a third world continent, to others it is a land of cultural emphasis, war, famine and political upheavals. In a sense, any of these views can be right but a more realistic approach is to define Africa as the earliest continent to taste civilization yet has easily become the most uncivilized region of the world. As far back as B>C 2000 Egypt was celebrated as a world super power and economic giant. Africa woke up early but never took the days activities serious. What went wrong? How are the mighty fallen! How did a promising continent become the dumping yard of the world? Today, Africa has practically become the symbol of underdevelopment, crises, witchcraft, malaria, bad leadership and crime. An evil that can’t be found in Africa is a non-existing evil. With so many of its member countries blessed with human and nat...

KADUNA MIRACLE CRUSADE The much advertised Kaduna Miracle Crusade organized by the Covenant Life ministry and Ernest Odogba Miracle Crusade has come and gone. The Crusade which held from the 6th to the 9th of March 2008 was attended by several thousands of people who thronged the Ungwan Maichibi Primary School ground venue of the meeting. True to its pre-crusade billing, the number of attendants in the daily meeting were among the highest recorded in Kaduna state in recent times. Hundreds of sick people, the blind, the lame, dumb, deaf, afflicted and those suffering from terminal sicknesses daily besieged the arena for the event and they were not disappointed. There were Sporadic miracle occurrences during each meeting. Myriad of healings were recorded as recipients jumped and shouted for joy. Several lame and physically challenged people received instant healing too as sights of crutches filled the air. It was also a time for Spiritual freedom as many who were bound, oppressed and tor...

TESTIMONIES I RECEIVED MIRACLE JOB VIA THE ANOINTING I have been searching for a job quite some time, but to no avail. I was gradually loosing hope and becoming discouraged until I attended an anointing service conducted by Dr. Ernest Odogba in January 2008. Before then I had heard about what God had been doing in people’s lives through the anointing oil. I came believing, expecting God for a favour. A day after the anointing service, I received a call inviting me for an interview, and to my utter surprise, I passed (despite the impromptu invitation) and was employed. If not for the anointing, who could have made this possible? I am grateful. Praise the Lord. Adebayo Godwin, Kaduna. 5 YEARS DUMBNESS HEALED I have a five-year-old boy named Hassan. He was dumb from birth. We sought for help at many medical and native treatment centers, but none came. We finally resigned to fate. However, my hope revived when someone informed me of the Kaduna Miracle Crusade organized by Covenant Life M...

DON’T HAVE IDLE FRIENDS And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren. Genesis 13:8 You should distance yourself from people that cannot contribute in your life in any way or people who are not going any where or having anything to do in living. Such people will not help you and they are not make any head way in their lives. You have to part way with such people. Abraham parted with Lot, made a head way in life and gave his life a meaning.. Distance yourself from relationships that cannot help you to achieve anything. Don't entertain idle friends in your house either in morning or any time. Lot was becoming successful and prosperous because of the grace of God upon Abraham. Abraham brought up Lot in business and he became successful. Because of the so much success attained by Lot, he and his servants started competing with Abraham and his servants. This resulted into conflicts between A...

SHAKE OFF THE CRITICISM And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand. And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm. Acts 28:3,5 If someone is looking down on you, just know you are more than that person, walk away and do not be offended, shake it off, if they criticize you or jealous of you. Jesus told the disciples if you preach in any city and they do not understand you or take your message He told them to shake off the dust of their shoes. The same way if people are against you, judge you, envy you or speak against you shake that off and walk away and do not allow that to weigh you down. Paul shook the snake that bit him into the fire and felt no hurt. People thought he was going to die but he kept on in his business. We should act the same way when people attack us, just shake if off you. Those who speak against you are always at your back. You do not criticize those under you, f...

CONTROL YOUR THOUGHT For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. Matt. 15:19. “An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations”thoughts of iniquity. I think all mankind has evil thoughts. The Lord Jesus said, “For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies”. It is an ugly brood that comes out of the human heart. By the way, have you ever confessed to God what you have in your mind and in your heart? We all need to do that. We need to be cleansed. God is dealing with the anatomy of evil and iniquity. It includes the eyes, the tongues, the hands, the heart Isaiah says: “Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths” May I ask you to take a good look at yourself in this mirror of the Word of God. After you and I see ourselves as we really are, let us ...

CHOOSE WHAT HAVE ETERNAL VALUE For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee. Proverbs 23:7 Your choice determine who you are. When people are faced with challenges, they like to take short cuts to the problem. These short cuts have their own consequences at the long run. So don't jump into choosing short cut to problems of life. Know that God has his way of doing things. Many people fall victim to 419 because of greed to get money. In determining what has eternal value, see what bring glory to God, affects others people lives and has sacrifice to make along. Consider the choice you make in life. Your choice affects others people around you, so be careful. The problem you are facing was as a result you make yesterday through the power of choice. One problem leads from one to another. What has external value offer peace and tranquility, but may not be beautiful or attractively. Everything that looks attractive, inviting, b...

VICTORY OVER CRITICISM If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. 1Peter 4:14 Everyone has at one time or the other been criticized. Most criticisms are out of jealousy. The more successful you are the more you will be criticized. Not every body will celebrate your victory. You should not take those criticisms personally. One thing you should do is to celebrate when others are celebrating their success. If you do not celebrate others you will not be blessed. If you are envious when others are blessed you will not receive your own blessing.The self righteous people always feel they are the best, they look down on others, they feel they can do it better than others. They are exhibiting pride. Jesus said they should remove the moth in their eyes before they remove the one in their brother's eyes. They forget to know Jesus loves the weak, d...
