Gospel singer Moses Bliss has stirred debate on social media after sharing a video of himself swiftly kneeling to greet Bishop David Oyedepo, founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide (Winners Chapel). The encounter occurred on June 1, 2026. While some fans praised the gesture as a sign of honour and respect for an elder, others criticised it as idolatry, arguing that kneeling should be reserved for God alone. Fellow gospel singer Dunsin Oyekan was also present. Bliss described the meeting as a “remarkable blessing.”
