Beware of Leaven 


What did Jesus mean when He said to His disciples,

Then Jesus said to them, "Take heed and beware of
the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees."

--- Matt. 16:6

What is it about leaven that Jesus was warning us about?
Is it because ...

It puffs up?
It misleads?
It elevates self?
It causes hypocrisy?

Although all of the above apply,
which one is it that causes them all?
As Jesus so often did, He compared
things that influence our lives with natural things,
and in Luke and Matthew talking about leaven,
He gave us these clues …

Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed,
nor hidden that will not be known.

--- Luke 12:1-2

Then they understood that He did not tell them
to beware of the leaven of bread,
but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees

--- Matt. 16:6

  Deny yourSelf - LIVE LOVE!


There are probably few people who have not felt burdened
… when they were confronted with Jesus’ words


Then Jesus said to His disciples,
"If anyone desires to come after Me,
let him deny himself,
and take up his cross, and follow Me. 
For whoever desires to save his life will lose it,
but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. 
For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world,
and loses his own soul?
--- Matt. 16:24-26

Just as Jesus Himself had to take up His cross,
… that cross of rejection, insult, pain and death on the cross,
we also should do the same?
Should we therefore bear all the pressures of life,
… be satisfied with our lot, sickness, lack, rejection etc!
What a heavy load and burden.
But praise God,
… if Jesus could and said we should, then we surely can do the same!

But …
Is that really what Jesus meant?
Does He really expect us to deny ourselves in that way?

Do I always have to do what I don’t want to do?
Do I have to be content in every circumstance?
Do I have to always give preference to others?
Do I deny my own desires?

Touching Lives  &  Impacting Communities




Blessed to be a blessing!

Covenant Disciples Bible Course and Pastor Jan's teachings have not only been instrumental in increasing the number of members in my church, but has also led to the increase in the finances in my ministry and in our church.
Our Street Children’s Ministry has also been turned around and where we previously only tried to meet some of the children’s needs, we not only increased in what we are doing, but are now also teaching them God’s Word & principles, with much success.

God bless you Pastor Jan for the work you are doing.
Pastor Peter Wekesa, Kitale, Kenya




A real Relationship!

I had trained and worked with a 'Protestant' mission as an instructor. One time when I attended a Covenant Ministries meeting in Kitale, I listened to pastor Jan teaching and
I couldn’t answer his questions.

This made me to think hard about the way he taught, and though at the time I felt I couldn’t agree with everything, I gave it much thought, attended more teachings and it started to open my eyes to a lot of things. I have seen changes in my life since I came to know covenant Ministries and this relationship has brought great blessing into our lives.
When I joined Covenant Ministries in January, both I and my wife were jobless. A few days ago my wife got a good paying job and the day after I also got a job. We are both working and this could not be possible without the relationship with Covenant Ministries where I learnt how God works in our lives. I am so thankful that I am now a Covenant Ministries coordinator reaching out to those around me
