Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh has shared a powerful 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, the actress gave her testimony during the New Season Prophetic Prayers and Declarations (NSPPD) service, led by the church’s founder, Pastor Jerry Eze.
Speaking before the congregation, Dikeh revealed that she began smoking at the age of 13 and struggled for decades with alcohol and masturbation, 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 an act of thanksgiving and a public testimony, admitting that she almost pulled out 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,” she said.
Dikeh further disclosed that after attending 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, describing the experience as a turning point in her spiritual life.
The actress also spoke about battling what she termed “demonic anger,” which she said had previously damaged 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 Dikeh, she had never truly experienced peace until recently.
“I am 40 years old, and I can tell you I have never known peace until now. I am living in it,” she said.
She revealed that her smoking habit lasted about 27 years and began through early exposure at home, using her experience to caution parents.
“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 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 declared.
Pastor Jerry Eze later prayed for the actress, declaring that “the body of sin is broken” and describing her as “a voice in her generation.”
Beyond the testimony, Dikeh shared a series of 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 renewed commitment to serving God.
