Nollywood star Tonto Dikeh has shared details of her past life that did not align with pleasing the Lord.

According to, she struggles with addiction and started smoking in her early teenage years.

“I smoked since I was 13. God healed me from masturbation, too. I have known myself to have sexual intercourse in a dream ever since I was a child,” the actress said.

She says the addictions were “demonic oppression,” but believes she has been completely freed through divine intervention.

The 40-year-old said God also recently healed her from “demonic anger,” which she said previously affected her relationships and personal life.

After the actress’ testimony, Pastor Jerry Eze, the founder, prayed for her, declaring that “the burden of sin is broken” and describing her as “a voice in her generation.”

Tonto Dikeh has revealed that she is now experiencing true peace after her recent commitment to God through Pastor Jerry Eze’s New Season Prophetic Prayers and Declarations (NSPPD).

While sharing her testimony on Sunday December 14 at Streams of Joy International, the Nigerian actress stated that this is not just a testimony, but a thanksgiving to God.

“I got a lot of peace surrounding me… I have never known peace. I’m 40 years old and I can tell you I do not know what peace is. I’m just feeling it. I’m just knowing it. I’m just living in it,” she indicted.

She explained, ahead of plans to share this testimony, the enemy attempted to stop her, but she was empowered to rather stop the enemy.

"... The devil tried to tell me that I was bigger than this—coming to church to say my testimony. The devil tried to tell me that I was supposed to protect my image. But I looked at myself and told myself: ‘What image? What image?’ I know, the God that gave me the image or the one that can take it away just like that. No, the devil was too small for me not to say this. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Thank you, Holy Spirit. El-Roi.” She explained.

Tonto Dikeh also opened up about the personal struggles that once overshadowed her life. She revealed that she lived with a “demonic anger” that negatively affected her relationships and blocked many opportunities.

“I have lived with a demonic anger… an anger that fueled me, that destroyed my life,” she shared. “They say, ‘Don’t burn the bridge.’… I’ll be on the bridge and burn the bridge, and the car coming with the water to save the bridge, I would burn it! That is how demonic it was.”

She described herself as a “chimney,” having smoked for 27 years since the age of 13.

Dikeh revealed she made a direct prayer to God: “If you want me to walk this walk with you, this is something I cannot do alone… I want to preach your word. I can’t, I can’t, I can’t preach your word and come back and still have this in my hands.”

She testified that the Holy Spirit first brought overwhelming shame, and then the urge itself was shattered. “I’m telling you about the urge was broken. I’m telling you about every yoke broken… My body does not need it. My body does not ask for it. My body is repelling it.”

This deliverance extended to alcohol abuse. Dikeh confessed to being an alcoholic who would drink and pass out.

She said, “You’re also looking at an alcoholic. I would drink and I would pass out. I didn’t care who was looking. In fact, it made me… I never went out. I hated going out because of these habits. I didn’t want other people to be able to see it, I didn’t want people to know it. I would drink at home and I will pass out. I’ll be drunk. I’m telling you, I’m not saying a few cups of alcohol. I’m not telling you two bottles of alcohol a day, and I’m not saying little, because I’m telling you about big vodka bottles.

But today, hallelujah, somebody! But today, but today: Broken! Broken! God restored a lot. He restored a lot.” She testified.

The Nollywood star also testified to receiving healing from spiritual oppression, including long-term struggles with. She declared that after a prayer conference, “the wicked man who held me captive all my years… ran away!”

The actress concluded her powerful testimony by confirming her commitment to her new life, stating that she has made a covenant with God “it is me and you” she said.

According to a post she shared on Instagram, the actress revealed that she was involved in sexual sin, struggling with uncontrollable anger that cost her several valuable relationships as well as depression.

But an encounter with the Holy Spirit completely brought her deliverance.

“Jesus healed me from a rage that once ruled my life. I used to have a fuse so short it could ignite a storm. I destroyed relationships, opportunities, and peace without a second thought. My anger was not power; it was pain disguised as control. But one day, I broke down and cried out like a child. I was tired of being ruled by my emotions. And El-Roi, the God who sees me, saw me. He didn’t condemn me. He covered me with mercy and completely healed me.”

“I lived in pain, breathed it, and wore it like a second skin. Depression was my closest companion, and I attempted suicide. But God said, ‘Child, get up.’ And I did. Weak, trembling, but alive,” the surrendered Tonto Dikeh wrote.

According to her, her decision to live a godly life began during her secondary school days but she eventually drifted away.

Nonetheless, she noted she has rededicated her life to God and is committed to staying true to her faith.

“I gave my life to Christ after secondary school, but I took His love for granted. Life showed me its harshest lessons, and the enemy showed me pain without mercy. That was when I ran back to my first Love. And that return has been the most beautiful and fulfilling journey of my life. I am not ashamed to say it loudly: My life belongs to God,” she wrote.
