Speaking during a sermon, Dikeh explained that her morning online devotion sessions are the culmination of long-standing spiritual discipline cultivated away from public view.
“Before you see what you see here today, I have marinated, immersed myself with my God. This is not a joke. This is preparation. This is purpose, grace, assignment,” she said.
The actress highlighted that public prayer should reflect, rather than replace, private devotion. “You need to build a private life with God, where nobody is watching — away from the internet, away from your friends.
Let it be that when you come to the internet to pray or talk about God, you have already done it in your privacy,” she added.
Dikeh also shared a personal testimony from her early days in Christianity, describing how her prayer life transformed shortly after her conversion.
“A month after I gave my life to Christ, I realised there was nothing I prayed for that I did not get… He taught me intimacy with Him,” she said.
The actress stressed that consistency and genuine devotion are key to spiritual growth, cautioning against superficial displays of faith.
“God is not looking for people who love Him in the front yard and desert Him at the back. The moment God sees your consistency and your love for Him, He will avail you with all that you have,” Dikeh added.
