He began his testimony with joy, saying: “Praise the Lord. Here, I guess, uh, it's a beautiful Sunday, you know. And, uh, a lot of you know me… I guess you must have seen a lot of stuff online about me. But I tell you something, you know. That wasn't me, man. Do I look like that now? Which one would you prefer, this or that? Hallelujah! Well, God did it.”

Anuku revealed that his healing journey began when strangers reached out to him, describing them as “angels and messengers” sent by God. He admitted to facing deep personal trauma, including the painful loss of his partner:
“First, I lost my baby mama… she went to the great beyond too soon. The mother of my children, my son and my daughter over there… I never believed that she would go that soon. And it hurts really deep to the bone.”
He explained that grief had driven him into isolation, but he eventually found divine comfort:
“I just wanted to be like a hermit… until I got knocked off that holy spirit and brought into the presence of God for deliverance and for healing and for divine comfort, which I have now.”
The actor testified that prayers at the church lifted his burdens:
“Last week when I came to church, I was feeling weighty, very heavy and uncomfortable. And after the prayers, when I went back home, I was light like a feather, new like a baby.”
Anuku, now 64, emphasised that his transformation is proof that God can change anyone: “God can change anybody. He changed me. He can change anybody. He changed Saul to Paul. His case is no different.”
