Popular Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh has embraced reconciliation with her former husband, Olakunle Churchill, after years of strained relations between them.
The actress has also become more vocal about her Christian faith. Following what she described as a new birth experience, she has dropped the name “King Tonto” and now prefers to be addressed as “Evangelist Tonto.”
She has also founded a church, New Wine Prophetic Tabernacle.
On Monday, Tonto revealed that her reconciliation with Churchill had positively impacted other marriages, adding that the experience inspired her to help women heal and restore broken marriages. She made the revelation on her Instagram page.
She wrote: “Ever since my reconciliation with my ex-husband, hundreds of women have reached out asking the same question: How did you learn to forgive?”
“While I couldn’t reply to everyone, I reached out to those whose pain mirrored my own. Today, to the glory of God, at least 10 women have been reconciled restoring peace, healing hearts, and stepping into healthy co-parenting. God has truly turned my personal story into a tool for restoration.”
“If you are carrying bitterness today, please hear this: Forgiveness is never for the person who hurt you; it is for you. It is the key to moving your life forward. God will not inflict pain on others just because we are hurting.”
“It is our own responsibility to release that weight and set ourselves free.”
“True closure doesn’t come from people, it comes from God.”
“He promises to restore the years that the cankerworm has eaten. Not just days or weeks, but years. Every tear you’ve shed and every year spent in pain will be turned into a powerful testimony.”
“To every woman praying for peace, healing, and family restoration: may my story be a beacon of hope for you and yours. Amen.”
