Spiritual leader and founder of ‘The Holy Michael Church of The Lord (Aladura) Cherubim and Seraphim along the Ikotun/Ejigbo area of the state, Pa Samuel Olawale has revealed his reason for sleeping in a coffin and grave.
The Pastor who was a long time a police officer, is in his 80s who said he has been in evangelisation since 1957 when God called him said:
“Yes, it is true that I have a coffin covered with a black cloth in the church, it is in a big van. Not only this, I have a big hole dug by the altar. You can go and see it, take the picture. But for the grave or the hole, it is by the altar. And next time, I will open it for you while I am there. The two strange objects are pregnant with meanings. I have reasons why I am keeping them there.” he told The Nation
Pa Samuel Olawale (a.k.a Kogberegbe) who also goes out to preach with coffin gave his reason saying:
“Yes it is true that I am carrying the coffin about while preaching and what I am trying to point out is that no matter how wealthy you are you will not leave this world with these money, it all ends here. You will not go into the grave with your wealth or with money, be you a civil servant who stole money, be you an armed robber, be you a landlord or a caretaker, your money and wealth ends here the moment you are dead.”
“Any time I go out, I would at times sleep in the coffin, telling everybody that that is how we will end. Yes, we should remember this. If you are buried with expensive coffin, clothes and jewelleries, all will be stolen from you in the night and your carcass will be left. To me, life has no meaning until we come to God. Things are going wrong in this world and we should mend our ways.”
“Yes, I even sleep there (in the coffin and the grave) at times too, to let us know that we will all end up in the grave!” he said. Smh.
On what it is in the grave, the prophet said, “Nothing , it is empty , nothing.”
