The popular nollywood actress turned evangelist Tonto Dikeh has revealed that God communicates with her privately, adding that she had been a Christian long before her spiritual journey became public.
The actress, now known for her evangelism, made the revelation while addressing what she described as misconceptions about when she gave her life to Christ.
According to Tonto Dikeh, her relationship with Christ did not begin when she publicly embraced evangelism, insisting that she had always been connected to her faith since she was very young.
“Everything I said God told me, he told me in private. There’s a misconception about when I came out and when I gave my life to Christ.
“I’ve always been with Christ, to the point where I was going to be ordained a pastor at 17 years old,” she said.
