Prophet Pa Samuel Olawale (a.k.a Kogberegbe) sleeps inside coffin and in the grave preaching the gospel. It is one story that will indeed shock you and expose you to things going on that you are not aware of.
Conspicuously displayed on this Mountain of Prayer is a big van with the inscription:
"The Holy Michael Church of The Lord (Aladura) Cherubim and Seraphim, Preacher Prophet S.O. Olawale (a.ka. Kogberegbe).”
In the said van is a big white-creamy painted coffin covered with a black cloth having the following words:
‘THIS IS THE END OF YOUR LIFE AND YOUR POST’ inscribed on it, all in capital letters!

Fear will normally envelope most people seeing for the first time a coffin draped with black cloth and a grave dug by the altar . This is, however, a familiar sight to the congregation of this church. They've grown used to it.
What is the connection between an empty coffin and the church? Why should there be a grave by the altar?
Speaking to The Nation on why he keeps both strange and curious objects, the spiritual leader and founder, Pa Samuel Olawale, who is in his 80s, declared ” 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.”
While preachers , evangelists and men of God go out preaching with the Holy Bible, asking sinners to repent , Pa Samuel Olawale ( a.k.a Kogberegbe) goes out not only with the Holy Bible but always ‘armed’ with an empty coffin , a bell in his hand, preaching to sinners to repent and come to God.
He said: ” 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.”
