For many gospel ministers, meeting a spiritual leader who has shaped generations of believers is a memorable experience. That was exactly how award-winning gospel singer Moses Bliss felt after a recent encounter with renowned preacher David Oyedepo.
The singer shared his excitement on Instagram on Monday night, posting a video that captured the moment he met the respected cleric. In the clip, Moses Bliss was seen kneeling respectfully to greet Bishop Oyedepo, after which both men exchanged warm pleasantries.
The encounter quickly drew reactions from fans and members of the Christian community, many of whom described it as a significant moment for one of Nigeria’s most celebrated gospel music stars.
Reflecting on the meeting, Moses Bliss expressed deep admiration for the influential preacher and revealed that the encounter inspired him to pursue an even greater sense of purpose in ministry.
“What a remarkable blessing and honor to meet Papa Bishop David Oyedepo. What a man, what an inspiration! I’m so challenged to pursue greater kingdom purpose. Thank you Pastor @officialsteveogah,” he wrote.
The post resonated with many followers who viewed the meeting as a convergence of two influential figures within Nigeria’s Christian community.
Over the past few years, Moses Bliss has become one of the most recognisable names in contemporary gospel music.
Born Moses Enang, the singer rose to national prominence with his breakout worship anthem, Too Faithful, which gained widespread popularity across churches, Christian gatherings, and digital platforms both within and outside Nigeria.
Since then, he has built a thriving music ministry and established Spotlite Nation, a record label that has nurtured and promoted emerging gospel artists.
His influence has continued to grow beyond music, making him one of the leading voices among a new generation of gospel ministers.
The singer has also experienced significant milestones in his personal life.
In 2024, he married Ghanaian lawyer and entrepreneur Marie Wiseborn in a series of wedding ceremonies held in both Nigeria and Ghana. The celebrations attracted widespread attention from the Christian community and social media users across Africa.
The couple later welcomed their first child, a baby boy, in January 2025, marking another joyful chapter in their journey together.
The man at the centre of Moses Bliss’ admiration, Bishop David Oyedepo, remains one of the most influential religious figures in Africa.
As founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, Oyedepo oversees one of the largest Pentecostal ministries in the world. The church’s headquarters, Faith Tabernacle, is recognised as one of the largest church auditoriums in the world and serves as the centre of the ministry’s extensive religious, educational, and humanitarian activities.
For decades, Oyedepo’s teachings on faith, leadership, and personal development have influenced millions of Christians across Nigeria and beyond.
Given his impact on the faith community, it is perhaps unsurprising that meeting him would leave a lasting impression on Moses Bliss.
Beyond the photographs and videos shared online, the encounter represented something deeper: a moment of inspiration between two generations of Christian leaders, one who has spent decades building a global ministry and another who continues to shape lives through music and worship.
For Moses Bliss, the meeting was more than a photo opportunity. It was a reminder of the greater purpose he believes he has been called to pursue, and a source of motivation as he continues his journey in ministry and music.
