NOLLYWOOD actress, Tonto Dikeh, has shared an emotional testimony on how God delivered her from smoking, alcoholism, masturbation and long-standing emotional struggles through the New Season Prophetic Prayers and Declarations (NSPPD) altar.
Dikeh spoke on Sunday at the Streams of Joy International in Abuja, where she described her experience as both a testimony and a thanksgiving, saying her life had undergone a complete spiritual and personal transformation since joining the NSPPD prayers.
She said her journey began with what she described as her salvation, noting that God lifted her from a troubled past and placed her on a path of peace, growth and restoration.

According to her, years of destructive anger that once ruined relationships and inner stability were replaced with calm and emotional healing through consistent prayers on the NSPPD altar.
The actress also recounted how a painful personal experience during the Ghana Prayer Conference became a turning point in her walk with God.
She explained that unlike previous times when hardship pushed her away from faith, she chose to move closer to God, a decision she said marked the beginning of deeper healing and restoration.

Dikeh further revealed that she had struggled with smoking from the age of 13, a habit she attributed to early exposure at home.
She noted that she smoked heavily for 27 years and believed quitting was impossible without divine help, adding that God broke the addiction by first making her ashamed of the habit and then removing the urge completely.
She also testified that she had battled alcoholism for years, often drinking excessively and passing out in private.

According to her, the addiction has now been broken, alongside what she described as healing from masturbation and other personal struggles that had affected her spiritual life.
In addition to emotional and behavioural healing, Dikeh said she experienced physical restoration during the Ghana Prayer Conference.

She disclosed that she had lived with chronic back pain for about 20 years but discovered the pain had disappeared after praying, even before taking her regular medication.
Reflecting on her past, the actress admitted that years of spiritual confusion led her to seek help from places she no longer identifies with.
She said her renewed faith has given her a clear sense of identity and belonging, stressing that she now understands who she is and who she belongs to.
Sharing further, Dikeh said she had suffered from repeated spiritual attacks in her dreams since childhood but noticed a change after the prayer conference.
She described herself as a prodigal child who has returned home, adding that she has made a firm commitment not to return to her former way of life.
Hear her: “This is not just a testimony but a thanksgiving to God. My first testimony is about my salvation on NSPPD. God took me out of the miry clay and set my feet up on the rocks. I’m like that woman that was planted by the waterside, I’m flourishing, I’m growing and God is beautifying my life all round.
“I have lived with a demonic anger, an anger that destroyed my life, anger that burn bridges and everything on its way but God took all of those away while praying with NSPPD. From that anger I have gotten a lot of peace. I have never known peace like the one I know now. I am 40 years old and I can tell you that I have never known this kind of peace.
“My restoration is proof that God is hearing me, that he sees me. In all these unmerited favour, there are blessings I have received just simply because I’m on this altar.

“This year during the Ghana Prayer Conference, I was heartbroken. There is a pattern that the devil has with me. When I come to God, he would hit me with something bad, something rotten that I can’t handle and I begin to shake and curse God and begin to run away from God and seek help from other sources. But this time around, I face the biggest pain of my life but instead of me to run away, God told me to go towards him and I did.
“I was broken and I just wanted to go to that prayer conference to cry. I went there, praying and God kept comforting me.

“Standing before you here is a girl who is a chimney. I have smoked since I was 13 years old. I started smoking because my dad was a smoker. At 13, it was nothing in my house and it’s still nothing. It’s 27 years since I have been smoking and I told God that if he wants me to walk with him, it is something that I cannot do alone.
“I told him that I wanted to do his will but I can’t do it and come back and smoke. First thing the Holy Spirit did for me was to make me to be ashamed of it. Something I had never been ashamed of. I became ashamed of the smell, how it looked, and I became ashamed of me holding it. And from the shame came the revival. The urge to do it was broken.
“You’re also looking at an alcoholic. I will drink and pass out. I didn’t care who was looking. I hated going out because of this habit because I didn’t want people to see it and know it. I will drink at home and pass out. I am not talking about two cups of alcohol, I’m talking about big bottles of alcohol. But today, it is broken. God restored a lot. God healed me from masturbation too.
“I am 40 years old and I have had a chronic backache since I can remember. For 20 years, I battled it. While I was on the ground praying for a broken heart in the Ghana Prayer Conference, God was restoring things, he was repairing my life. I woke up to take my medication, the highest pain relieve drug and realized that there was no pain anymore.
“In 40 years while trying to navigate this wicked world on my own, I have soiled my hands, I have put my hands on altars. I have worshipped in altars that I do not belong in. Altars that my spirit was bigger than because I didn’t know who I am. But today, I don’t just know who I am but I know whose I am.
“Since I was a child, I have always known myself to have sexual intercourse in the dream. After the Ghana Prayer Conference, I realised that the weak man who held me captive in my dreams, taking advantage of who I am, ran away.
“I am an example of that prodigal child that has come back to God. I made a covenant with God that I will not go back to the world because there’s nothing left for me. I have done it all and I have seen it all. I am not going anywhere. I am here to serve God I’m here to serve God in all of his Glory.”
