Declaration

I am disciplined because I am a follower of Jesus, so I have the power to say ‘No’ to sin. I believe that in every temptation, God provides a way out. As I study His Word everyday, and surround myself with Godly people, I am growing stronger and closer to Jesus. Because of Christ, and His promises, I have nothing to fear.
