Moses Bliss<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Nigerian gospel singer, Moses Bliss, has revealed how he broke into the gospel music industry despite his poor background.<\/p>\n

In an interview on the” Heart to Heart” programme of the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN), Africa, Bliss narrated that after his father\u2019s death, life became tough for his family until God intervened.<\/p>\n

He said at some point he started helping his mother to engage in petty trading including hawking sachet water (pure water) to survive during the difficult period.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy dad died some 16 years ago. It was a very difficult time for us as a family. My mum had to bear the responsibility for everything. So, at a time I had to start selling pure water so that I can assist myself and assist my education.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I was always singing. It was like a fire burning in my bones. I was always singing, always worshipping, always developing myself because I knew there was something, I knew there was a dimension of God I wanted to show to the world. It started like that and God started helping me.<\/p>\n

\u201cI save some money and my mum added money and I bought a keyboard for myself and I was always hawking. Even when I was selling for her, I was always singing and people would say they would like to come and buy from me because her son is always singing. So, it was a journey,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The multiple award-winning Bliss said the turning point of his life came when he met his pastor, Dr Chris Otabor, who is also a senior medical consultant.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cI met him in 2013. Before then, I was playing for a certain church and I was being paid some stipend. But at some point I chose not to take money from church because I wanted to entirely serve God. I didn\u2019t want to be trading myself with some money. I didn\u2019t want to do that.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, I met my pastor and my pastor believed in me. I didn\u2019t think I was ready. At the time, I was still a teenager. He told me \u2018I think you can actually record the song. What about going to the studio\u2019\u2026.\u2026But I wanted to work on myself.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut my pastor said, \u2018I think you have the potential. Can you go to the studio and try? If it comes out well, then we can start making more songs but if it doesn\u2019t, you can hold on a bit and start working on yourself.\u2019 Then I reluctantly\u2026He wrote a cheque for me and said, \u2018go\u2019 and then I went and I did that song, my first song.\u201d<\/p>\n

Advice to young ones<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bliss advised the young ones to have who can guide them to success.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think mentorship is very, very needed. In the Bible, you can see how people played roles to help people get to their destinations. As a young person you need a mentor. God always introduces that one person in your life that is meant to push you and catapult you to get to where you ought to be. And you must recognize it.<\/p>\n

\u201cA mentor is not someone who would be giving you money. That is where some people get it wrong. They feel like \u2018oh, this one is not giving me money, he is not my mentor.\u2019 A mentor is someone who gives you instruction, someone who can guide you, \u2018this path is not the direction you should go.\u2019 That is what my pastor did for me, telling me at every time, \u2018do it like this. No, this is the way I think you should go.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd sometimes, by obedience of that mentor, of that spiritual authority over you, God honours you because God respects obedience. You have to be very careful of anybody who does not have anybody he listens to. If you cannot honour the man, how would you honour God? So you need a mentor to guide you. You need to submit under. Don\u2019t look for money, look for instruction, words that will propel you to life.,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
