Why I Would Never Enhance My Body- Celestine Donkor
Gospel artist Celestine Donkor emphasized her decision not to follow the trend of female celebrities opting for body enhancements.
She expressed that the huge amount of money spent by female celebrities to achieve their desired physique through surgery could be better used for spiritual growth.
Donkor firmly believes that the physical body is temporary, regardless of its beauty, and therefore, she has no intention of altering her natural appearance.
She shared these thoughts during an interview with Doreen Avio on Hitz FM’s morning show, Daybreak Hitz, on Thursday, April 25, 2024.
“As a minister I can confidently say here that for me personally, if I have GH₵40,000 or GH₵50,000 to work on my body I would invest in my soul. Because this body will perish one day, trust me,” she said.
According to her, no matter how slim and nicely carved one’s body is, it will be buried in the ground one day.
“The one that will not die is your soul. So we spend time in looking good and the soul looks terrible. If you have a perfect combination of the two, praise Jesus for you. But to invest so much in looking good, appearing good and your soul is dying, it’s really a sad thing to happen to happen to a human being. Because the worthless creature after death is the human body. Even goats when they die they have value because we use them in our soup,” she said.
Moreover, Celestine, on the other hand, emphasized that there exist exceptional cases where women with health complications necessitate undergoing surgical procedures, and it is reasonable for them to opt for such interventions.
“If your health is not at risk, you are not in danger because of your weight, there is a way you can manage your diet, and walk and be in shape, go for that one.
If your weight is a danger to your health, your life is at risk, it’s okay to go for surgery; that’s a life saver. Because if I had not gone under knives for my kids, they would have died in my womb,” she said.
