Nollywood actress cum politician, Tonto Dikeh, has opened up about deliverance from prolonged demonic anger, smoking, alcohol addiction and masturbation.
Bellnews reports that Tonto made this known while sharing her deliverance testimony during a Sunday service at Streams of Joy International Church, led by the church’s founder, Pastor Jerry Eze.
Speaking before the congregation, the movie star said she began smoking at the age of 13 and struggled for years with alcohol and masturbation, attributing her transformation to divine intervention.
She described her appearance at the altar as both a testimony and a thanksgiving, noting that she almost withdrew because of concerns about her public image.
She said, “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.
“I struggled with demonic anger, 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.
“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.”
Speaking about her freedom from masturbation, Tonto explained that after attending the Ghana Prayer Conference, she noticed a change in what she described as years of spiritual oppression.
She said, “I realised that the weak man who held me captive all my years in my dream ran away.”
According to Tonto, she had never experienced peace until recently, stressing, “I am 40 years old, and I can tell you I have never known peace until now. I am living in it.”
Tonto Dikeh added that her smoking habit lasted for about 27 years, which she said began after exposure at home, urging parents to keep harmful habits away from their children.
She said, “I started smoking because my dad was a smoker. Something as little as that habit can inhabit the lives of your children. My body does not ask for it. My body is repelling it. Today, it is broken.”
