Once Upon a Live Video: How a Nigerian Gospel Star Found Love on Instagram

In the age of filtered selfies and curated online personas, a love story like Moses Bliss and Marie Wiseborn’s feels like a breath of fresh air. It’s a love story as real and raw as the pulsating rhythms of his gospel music, as genuine as the tears that well up during a heartfelt prayer. It’s a story that began not in a candlelit cathedral or in a fancy restaurant, but on the square grid of Instagram, fueled by faith, funky moves, and a whole lot of divine intervention.

From Ghana to Your Phone Screen: A Miracle in Motion

It all started a year ago, on a seemingly ordinary January day. Marie, a Ghanaian beauty with a spirit as vibrant as her homeland, felt a sudden urge to move. Not to another city or even another room, but to the rhythm of Moses Bliss’s hit track, “Miracle No Dey Tire Jesus.” Now, Marie wasn’t one to document her dance moves on social media, but something unexplainable pushed her to record that impromptu late-night jam session. And guess what? The video found its way to the eyes of the man whose music had soundtracked her moves – Moses Bliss himself.

“I Like the Way She Praises God”: A Connection Forged in Faith

Bliss, known for his soulful voice and spirit-stirring melodies, was instantly captivated by Marie’s uninhibited praise. He saw in her not just fancy footwork, but a genuine connection to the music, a reflection of the same passion that burned within him. He commented, “I like the way she praises God, wow she dances like David.” And that, was the start of something beautiful.
