Lucky Obukohwo, Reporting

Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh has unveiled a new spiritual movement, the New Wine Prophetic Tabernacle (NWPT), an interdenominational platform dedicated to prayer, revival and spiritual transformation.

Dikeh announced the initiative on Sunday via her Instagram page, describing NWPT as a “global movement of consecrated believers” called to experience the power, purity and presence of God.

The movement is anchored on Mark 2:22, which states: “And no one puts new wine into old wineskins.”

According to the statement released by Dikeh, NWPT is intended to provide a platform for Christians seeking what it described as genuine revival, spiritual renewal and transformation.

“NWPT exists as a dwelling place of His presence for those who refuse to settle for lukewarm Christianity and are hungry for genuine revival, fire, and transformation,” the statement said.

The movement said its vision is “to see a global awakening of consecrated believers operating in the raw power, purity, and presence of God transforming nations and establishing the Kingdom of Christ on Earth.”

It also outlined a mission centred on prayer, revival and apostolic training, saying the platform would equip “watchmen”, activate spiritual gifts, promote soul-winning and seek freedom for people through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Dikeh further clarified that the movement should not be regarded as a conventional church, describing it instead as “an intense gathering of those consecrated and equipped for the purposes of God.”

According to the announcement, NWPT will hold weekly fellowship every Friday at 6pm.

The development comes months after Dikeh began signing several of her social media posts as “Ada El-Roi” and became increasingly active in Pastor Jerry Eze’s NSPPD community, alongside changes in her public presentation and lifestyle.

In December 2025, Dikeh also shared a public testimony at Streams of Joy International Church in which she spoke about her reported deliverance from smoking, alcohol addiction, masturbation and prolonged anger issues.

The actress, who ventured into politics in 2022 as a governorship running mate in Rivers State, has in recent months also opened up about aspects of her personal life, including her former marriage to Olakunle Churchill.
