Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh has publicly shared a testimony of what she described as her deliverance from smoking, alcohol addiction, masturbation, and long-standing anger issues during a Sunday service at Streams of Joy International Church.
In a video shared by DCLImagery on YouTube on Sunday, the actress gave the testimony during the New Season Prophetic Prayers and Declarations (NSPPD) service led by the church’s founder, Pastor Jerry Eze.
Addressing the congregation, Dikeh said she began smoking at the age of 13 and battled alcohol addiction and masturbation for several years, attributing her transformation to divine intervention.
“I smoked since I was 13. God healed me from masturbation, too. I have known myself to have sexual intercourse in the dream ever since I was a child,” she said.
She explained that her appearance at the altar was both a testimony and an act of thanksgiving, revealing that she initially considered withdrawing due to concerns about her public image.
“The devil tried to tell me that I was supposed to protect my image. But I told myself, what image? The God that gave me the image is the same God that can take it away,” Dikeh said.
The actress further stated that following her attendance at the Ghana Prayer Conference, she noticed a significant change in what she described as years of spiritual oppression.
“I realised that the weak man who held me captive all my years in my dream ran away,” she said, adding that the experience marked a turning point in her spiritual journey.
Dikeh also spoke about struggling with what she referred to as “demonic anger,” which she said negatively affected her relationships and personal life.
“An anger that destroyed my life. Everybody had to feel it. But praying with NSPPD, God took all of those away and gave me peace,” she said.
According to her, the peace she now enjoys is something she had never previously experienced.
“I am 40 years old, and I can tell you I have never known peace until now. I am living in it,” she added.
The actress disclosed that her smoking habit lasted about 27 years, explaining that it began after early exposure at home. She urged parents to keep harmful habits away from their children.
“I started smoking because my dad was a smoker. Something as little as that habit can inhabit the lives of your children,” she said.
She added that after praying for divine help, she no longer experiences cravings for cigarettes or alcohol.
“My body does not ask for it. My body is repelling it. Today, it is broken,” she said.
Pastor Eze later prayed for the actress, declaring that “the body of sin is broken” and describing her as “a voice in her generation.”
In addition to the testimony, Dikeh shared photos from the church service on her Instagram page, captioning them: “A living testimony of mercy. One God spared, restored, and commissioned.”
In recent months, the actress has spoken openly about her renewed Christian faith, describing her current spiritual journey as one marked by peace, restoration, and a commitment to serving God.
