On Sunday, Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh introduced the New Wine Prophetic Tabernacle, a brand-new spiritual movement. Announcing the development via a post on her Instagram page, Dikeh described NWPT as an interdenominational altar and “global movement of consecrated believers called to experience the raw power, purity, and presence of God,” anchored on the biblical passage in Mark 2:22, which reads, “And no one puts new wine into old wineskins.” It read in part, “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.”
Outlining its vision, the statement said the movement aims “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.”
On its mission, it stated that NWPT exists “to build an interdenominational altar of prayer, revival, and apostolic training that equips watchmen, activates spiritual gifts, drives relentless soul winning, and delivers total freedom to the captive through the power of the Holy Spirit.”
The post further distinguished the gathering from a conventional church, stating, “This is not a church; it is an intense gathering of those consecrated and equipped for God. A people set apart, refined by His presence, and commissioned to advance His Kingdom.”
The statement states that NWPT has a weekly fellowship every Friday at 6:00 p.m. The declaration on Sunday comes months after the actress started writing many of her posts as "Ada El-Roi" and started participating in Pastor Jerry Eze's NSPPD group, all while making publicly publicized changes to her appearance and way of life.
