Popular Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh has publicly shared 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.

 

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

 

Addressing the congregation, Dikeh revealed that she began smoking at the age of 13 and battled alcohol addiction and masturbation for several years, struggles she said only ended 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 her decision to testify publicly was both an act of thanksgiving and obedience, despite initial hesitation over 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 stated.

 

The actress further disclosed that after attending the Ghana Prayer Conference, she experienced a major spiritual breakthrough, describing it as freedom from years of oppression.

 

“I realised that the weak man who held me captive all my years in my dream ran away,” she said, describing the experience as a turning point in her spiritual journey.

 

Dikeh also spoke candidly about struggling with what she termed “demonic anger,” which she said had 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 the actress, the peace she now enjoys is unfamiliar but deeply fulfilling.

 

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

 

She revealed that her smoking habit lasted approximately 27 years, attributing its origin to early exposure at home. Using her experience as a warning, she cautioned parents about the impact of their habits on 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.

 

Dikeh further testified that after praying for divine help, she no longer has cravings for cigarettes or alcohol.

 

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

 

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.”

 

Following the service, Dikeh shared photos from the church on her Instagram page with the caption: “A living testimony of mercy. One God spared, restored, and commissioned.”
