The Nigerian gospel music industry continues to bless hearts with its soul-lifting songs that draw many to the experience of heaven on earth.
Our gospel ministers remain kingdom trailblazers in the body of Christ. Beyond the love in community, they have also found their great loves beyond the nation’s borders.
Here’s a look at our top Nigerian gospel ministers who have married foreign partners.
1. Moses Bliss & Marie Bliss
The Akwa-Ibom sensation and gospel minister, Moses Uyoh Enang (popularly known as Moses Bliss), took the body of Christ by storm when he proposed to his then-girlfriend, Miss Marie Wiseborn. He posted on his Instagram in January 2024 about their engagement.
From what started as a tag on Instagram, it blossomed into a lifelong divine partnership. Minister Bliss had this to share, reflecting on their meeting:
“There are some things only God can orchestrate.” He also added, “After a while, we became friends for many months, and here we are today – truly, MIRACLE NO DEY TIRE JESUS. For someone believing God for this kind of testimony, may God divinely work out your testimony in Jesus’ name.”
Mrs Marie Bliss, an indigene of Ghana, was raised in the United Kingdom for most of her life. Her deep passion for law and justice led to her legal career. She specializes in criminal law, human rights, and immigration. When she is not in the courtroom declaring justice, she shares her wisdom as a motivational speaker. She has graced platforms like Women in Law, Young Leaders Summit, and TEDx. Additionally, she is a preacher and a singer. Her simplicity, despite her husband’s fame, has marked many hearts.
The love story of Minister Moses and Marie is a testament that divine connection exists even in unlikely spaces. They were officially joined in marriage in February 2024 in Ghana. It has truly been a blissful journey for the happy couple. In January 2025, they shared the birth of their bouncing baby boy, describing it as “the doing of the Lord”.
