Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh has shared a public 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 on Sunday by DCL Imagery on YouTube , Dikeh gave the testimony during the church’s New Season Prophetic Prayers and Declarations service, led by the founder, Pastor Jerry Eze.
Addressing the congregation, the actress said she started smoking at the age of 13 and battled for years with alcohol and masturbation, adding that her transformation was the result of what she described as 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 said her appearance at the altar was both a testimony and an act of thanksgiving, adding that she nearly withdrew 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 added that after attending the Ghana Prayer Conference, she began to experience a change from what she described as years of spiritual oppression.
“I realized 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 life.
The actress also spoke about struggling with what she called “demonic anger,” which she said previously 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, she said she only recently began to experience a sense of 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 disclosed that her smoking habit spanned about 27 years, which she said began due to exposure at home, and 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 urges for cigarettes or alcohol, “My body does not ask for it. My body is repelling it. Today, it is broken.”
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, the actress shared a series of photos on her Instagram at the church venue, captioning them: “A living testimony of mercy. One God spared, restored, and commissioned.”
In recent months, Dikeh has spoken openly about her renewed Christian faith, describing her current spiritual journey as one of peace, restoration and a deepened commitment to serving God.
