You would think that Moses Bliss who is currently in his late 20's just happened overnight but that will be a costly assumption. He was at the age of 5 when he started playing the piano in his local church. He also had a nice singing voice in addition to his keyboard skills, talents he would use in the band he joined in those early days. Beside being blessed with talent, his association, his humility, his charms, Moses Bliss is a busy guy - and these have contributed to his story.

The Deal He Turned Down
It was in the days of this band that he got the much talked about mind-blowing offer, a deal that would take him out of church but make him lots of money. He took the deal to his pastor and shockingly the pastor kept the letter and never looked at it.
In the words of Moses Bliss, "My pastor said he saw my music changing the lives of people globally." The story goes that his pastor discarded the offer letter and encouraged him to keep ministering in the church. In fact, the man of God tried to alleviate some of Bliss’ pressing needs just to keep him from being distracted by the cash outside.
Some other friend proceeded to follow the deal, but Moses Bliss obeyed the pastor and stayed back. He has shared often how he sold pumpkin leaves for his mom to make ends meet. He also shares that he had to soak himself in prayers, study of the word, fasting, and service to God with diligence and consistency to receive songs from God, the songs he is now known for.

He came out with songs like “Bigger Everyday”, “Too Faithful”, “Daddy Wey Dey Pamper”, and “Miracle”, and these all made it into popular Christian culture wherever Nigerians are, resonating especially with West African youths everywhere.

Days of Determination
But there were days of discouragement, embarrassment, rejection, delay, and frustration. But according to him, he adopted a lesson he took from his spiritual father, Rev. Chris, which was to never stop speaking forth what you want to see. Moses says he used to go out to isolated areas in the FCT to just speak to himself. He met the days of tough times with determination and tenacity.
Belief in self and belief in God meant he eventually pulled through.
