Prophet Samson O.
Prophet Samson Oluwamodede was born into a Muslim family by the name Ogunmodede in Iwo, Osun State, Nigeria. He had his primary education at Ilupeju Grammar School, Iwo. In his encounters with Christian gatherings, the clergy confessed that he hardly close his eyes whenever prayer was in-session just to be sure if the Pastor is doing anything besides praying. He finally gave his life to Christ in 1987 and was baptized that same year in Christ Apostolic Church (C.A.C) Oke-lgbala, Akure, Ondo State, Nigeria.
One day, Prophet Samson Oluwamodede had a divine encounter during a 3-day Marathon Fasting and Prayers in the Church. On that glorious day, he saw a vision, in his word, he said:
“I saw that the Church building roof disappeared and the sun was shining that very night again; later I saw a white man...the hand that I saw went straight into my mouth, and a voice followed it saying, what I gave to Peter and John is what I have given to you."
Immediately the vision disappeared, and suddenly he woke up. This spiritual experience gave the Prophet an inkling that God was up to something in his life.
Before his conversion from Islam to Christianity, Prophet/Evang. Samson Oluwamodede studied Quran for seven years at the Answarudeen Primary School and later became a butcher for another seven years, he also served as a newspaper vendor, then as a petrol attendant and Civil Servant respectively. Unlike his Muslim days which he had to go to Quranic school to understand what the religion is all about.
