Popular Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh has shared a powerful testimony of her spiritual deliverance from long-standing personal struggles, including smoking, alcohol addiction, masturbation, and anger issues, during a recent Sunday service at Streams of Joy International Church. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

The actress delivered her testimony at the New Season Prophetic Prayers and Declarations (NSPPD) service, led by church founder Pastor Jerry Eze, according to a video shared by DCLImagery on YouTube.

Addressing congregants, Dikeh recounted that she began smoking at 13 years old and battled alcohol and masturbation for many years, saying that she only overcame these challenges through 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 coming to the altar was an act of thanksgiving and a public testimony, despite initial concerns about her 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,” she said.

Dikeh also highlighted a turning point in her spiritual journey after attending a Ghana Prayer Conference, where she experienced freedom from 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 shared.

She [/b]further revealed that she had struggled with intense anger, which she described as “demonic” and disruptive to her relationships and personal life.

[b]“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. I am 40 years old, and I can tell you I have never known peace until now. I am living in it,” she said.

Dikeh emphasized that her smoking habit, which lasted 27 years, was influenced by early exposure at home, and she urged parents to be cautious about the habits children may pick up.

“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 concluded her testimony by declaring that after seeking divine help, she no longer experiences urges for cigarettes or alcohol.

“My body does not ask for it. My body is repelling it. Today, it is broken,” she said.

During the service, Pastor Jerry Eze prayed for the actress, declaring that “the body of sin is broken” and describing her as “a voice in her generation.” Dikeh shared photos from the church on Instagram, captioning them:

“A living testimony of mercy. One God spared, restored, and commissioned.”

Her testimony has since inspired many followers online, highlighting the transformative power of faith and perseverance.
