Many African civilizations celebrated “first fruits” harvests to promote A commitment to community growth and prosperity. So let our New Year resolution start with Kwanzaa. There is seven principle of Kwanzaa: Umoja means unity, something we need to work on for the sake of our children, Kujichagulia means self-determination, Ujima means working together, Ujamaa means supporting each other, something we do so little of. Nia means purpose, without purpose our lives are meaningless, Kuumba means creativity, and Imani means faith especially faith in ourselves. Faith in God is the beginning of life for us.
Unity: the Bible tells us in, Phil. 2:2 make joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in Spirit intent on one purpose. Romans 12:16 Be of the same mind towards one another; do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly, do not be wise in our own estimation. Romans 14:19 So then we pursue the things which make for peace and the building up of one another.
So this year Lord, we pray for the Fruit of the Spirit and the seven principles of Kwanzaa. Father, our resolution is to become closer to You and to each other; we ask for unity, self-determination, to work together on one accord, support each other, to serve Your purpose, help us be more creative and faith. Lord, we thank You, for a New Year, in our right mind and good health; we pray for Your protection and guidance through this year, for us and our children, and our children’s children. Father, we pray for love the kind of love You have for us. Lord, no matter how we receive Your Word, let us only keep what is good and true. Lord, we ask that You draw our children, family, and friends close to You, in Jesus name, we pray Amen.
