Apostle Mbeko Mokobe
I studied law in Kinshasa, DR Congo, and in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, with a specialization in international public law. Upon graduation I started to work as a political and strategic advisor of President Mobutu.
In 2002 I was ordained as an Apostle in Church of Christ in Congo (Église du Christ au Congo), and founded Jacob-Israel Church in Kinshasa. The church grew quickly and in 2007 I founded the church in Germany, and 2012 in Dublin. Today I preach on four continents, train and ordain Pastors worldwide and lead Jacob-Israel Church globally. Complementing my ministry I founded the organization for development cooperation Forum Soziales Deutschland-Kongo e. V. By locally run nonprofit health institutions, the association grants access to medical treatment to the poor. I live together with my family in Mainz, Germany. |
Interview
What bible verse best describes your lifestyle?
One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple. Ps 27:4
What is your greatest desire?
To see heaven full and hell empty. If Jesus continues like this, the devil will find himself sitting there alone.
What is the vision of your personal clling?
My personal calling is “how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.” Acts 10:38
I give my life to see this word fulfilled.
What experiences in your life initiated your faith?
I heard the gospel. Without hearing the good news noone can come to believe. In particular, I heard a strong preaching. When Jesus came to Capernaum, there were four men carrying a paralytic and could not find a way through the crowd to get to Jesus. Then they climbed the roof, uncovered it and broke it up, and let their friend down. What a display of faith! What an audacity that let them stop at nothing. Go big or go home.
In this moment it became clear in front of my eyes that in all of my intellectualism I was nowhere. I realized that the word of God is not a story, no philosophy or theory. During this sermon I was deeply moved. The Holy Spirit showed me this event like in a live stream and on this day I opened my entire heart for Christ.
Was ist ein Apostel? Was bedeutet dieser Titel?
Apostel means sent, a whiteness. Someone who can testify of what he has seen.
Wie war es, die Gemeinde zu gründen?
I heard a command of the Lord. Upon you I will found my church. Go, make all nations to my disciples. It was my duty to obey. I started celebrating church service together with three people under a tree and everybody thought I had gone crazy. Today this church has more than 800 members and more and more churched are being founded.
Why Jakob-Israel?
It corresponds to the transformation I experienced, just like Jacob. Every person in our church should be transformed in this way, from death to life, into the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. If a Christian is without transformation, he does not have the kingdom in his life. In our church there are only two ways. Either you leave the world and follow Jesus, or you go home.
As a preacher, do you have a role model?
