‘After 27 years of smoking, my body rejects cigarettes, alcohol now’ – Tonto Dikeh testifies

Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh has publicly shared her testimony of being delivered from years of smoking, alcohol addiction, masturbation, and prolonged anger during a Sunday service at Streams of Joy International Church.

In a video uploaded by DCLImagery on YouTube on Sunday, Dikeh recounted her experience during the New Season Prophetic Prayers and Declarations (NSPPD) service, led by the church’s founder, Pastor Jerry Eze.

Addressing the congregation, the actress revealed that she began smoking at the age of 13 and struggled with alcohol and masturbation for years, attributing her transformation to God’s 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 stated.

Dikeh described stepping forward at the altar as both a testimony and an act of thanksgiving, admitting that she almost refrained 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.

She also shared that attending the Ghana Prayer Conference marked a spiritual turning point, freeing her from what she called years of spiritual oppression.

“I realised that the weak man who held me captive all my years in my dream ran away,” she said.

The actress further discussed her struggle with what she described as “demonic anger,” which had negatively impacted 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,” Dikeh explained.

According to the actress, she had never known 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.

Dikeh revealed that her smoking habit spanned 27 years, beginning due to exposure at home, and urged parents to guard against passing harmful habits to 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 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 affirmed.

Pastor Eze later prayed for Dikeh, declaring that “the body of sin is broken” and referring to her as “a voice in her generation.”

Sharing her experience on Instagram, the actress posted photos from the church service, captioning them: “A living testimony of mercy. One God spared, restored, and commissioned.”
