‘I Was Told to End My Life by the Devil’ – Gospel Star Chidinma Ekile Recounts Intense Spiritual Ordeal

Nigerian gospel artist Chidinma Ekile has openly shared a deeply intimate spiritual experience marked by seclusion, intense prayer, and divine encounters.

The celebrated singer and Project Fame West Africa winner disclosed that she underwent 40 days of spiritual retreat in isolation, devoted to seeking God’s direction through prolonged fasting, worship, and reflection. She described this season as one filled with emotional turbulence and a profound spiritual battle.

During this sacred period, Chidinma said she often spent her nights outside, praying and singing as a means of baring her soul before God. She recounted these moments as deeply transformative, revealing that she felt an overwhelming manifestation of God’s presence like never before.

But her journey also included moments of darkness. Chidinma revealed a particularly disturbing spiritual attack that occurred while she was alone on a mountain. She explained how she encountered a dangerous moment where an evil force attempted to push her toward suicide.

The singer shared a vivid account of standing on the edge of a cliff, surrounded by darkness, where a tormenting voice urged her to jump. However, in that moment of deep vulnerability, she said an unseen force blocked her path, preventing her from carrying out the act.

“It felt like I was in an operating theatre, and God was doing surgery on me — tearing me apart and rebuilding me. I’ve seen it all. Now, material things no longer move me,” she reflected.

“The enemy came to take me before my time. One night, the devil took me to the edge of a cliff in total darkness and told me to jump. The voice was overwhelmingly powerful. But just when I was about to jump, something stood between me and the edge — a divine barricade,” she recounted.

Chidinma’s courageous testimony has ignited emotional reactions across her fanbase, many of whom commended her spiritual strength and honesty. Her story underscores the reality of spiritual warfare, even in the lives of public figures, and the power of divine intervention in moments of despair.
