Rayo Abe: Do Not Confound Religion with Responsibility

Beyond A Dress Size with Dr. Ezinne Meribe

Episode Summary How many times have we seen someone or maybe it was even you who was given a diagnosis (of course, make no mistake it's important to verify your diagnosis) but then what happens after this diagnosis is obvious and confirmed. Do you take responsibility and work with your doctor as you do your own research or do you ignore your doctor's recommendations and continue to live life like nothing has changed - AKA take responsibility for your health. After Rayo was diagnosed of being diabetic, she went home and decided in the characteristic 'Christianese' way that it was not her portion. So she continued to live like nothing had changed. It took a coma, one that she may not have made it out from to awaken her and make her realise that she had to choose between taking responsibility and using her religion as a crutch. Today, Rayo is alive and well because she had a second chance to make that choice. What about you? Are you taking responsibility? We hope this episode inspires you to take responsibility for your health and teach everyone around you to do same.

Once this body is gone, my purpose is gone. - We need to share our testimonies more to help people and we need to be honest. Being honest about how medicine helped you is not denying God’s Grace. - I am living with diabetes. I am watching what I eat, I test my blood sugar and I am responsible.
