Tonto Dikeh has shared a video from a recent service at her New Wine Prophetic Tabernacle (NWPT), offering followers a glimpse into her ministry's atmosphere just hours after a Nigerian pastor publicly questioned her spiritual qualifications.
The Nollywood actress and philanthropist posted the footage on Instagram, showing moments from last Friday's service, which she described as a profound encounter marked by explosive fellowship and a sovereign outpouring of the Spirit.
Service Highlights and Support from Mercy Chinwo
In her caption, Tonto expressed gratitude to every man and woman of God who attended, writing: "We truly witnessed an abundance of Rain, the refining Fire of God, and the irresistible weight of His love." She also welcomed first-time guests, hoping they found a spiritual home, not just a church service.
The post drew reactions, including from gospel singer Mercy Chinwo, who dropped a lovestruck emoji beneath the update, signaling her support for the ministry.
Timing Amid Pastor's Criticism
The video came shortly after a Nigerian pastor criticized Tonto's credibility as a minister, arguing she lacked the spiritual grounding to lead a church. The pastor also raised concerns about a trend of women disrespecting husbands, linking it to female-led ministries.
Background on New Wine Prophetic Tabernacle
Tonto first unveiled NWPT in Abuja, describing it as an interdenominational altar for prayer, revival, spiritual training, and awakening consecrated believers. Despite backlash, her latest post suggests she remains focused on her vision, letting the ministry's fruits speak louder than criticism.
In related news, Legit.ng reported that Tonto's ex-husband, Olakunle Churchill, shared a video visiting his first child at school amid marriage rumors with Rosy Meurer. The video sparked fan reactions, with many praising Churchill for being a present father, while others asked about Rosy Meurer's children.
