The Prayer of Jabez comes from the Bible. In 1 Chronicles 4:10, we read: "And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that Thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that Thine hand might be with me, and that Thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested." The prayer is composed of four part
s. First, Jabez asks God to bless him. Second, he asks God to enlarge his territory or increase his responsibility. Third, he prays that God will be with him and stay close. Lastly, Jabez asks that God keep him from harm so that he will be free from pain.
Prayer of Jabez: Why is it important?
The Prayer of Jabez reveals that Jabez understands what many people do not -- there is only one God and He should be the center of our work God wants to bless every life. But, we must first make the choice to invite God into our life and ask for His blessings. Jabez wants to succeed and increase his sphere of influence for God. The specific sphere of influence is not important. What is important is that when we want to reach for goals and accomplishments that we have God on our side. Proverbs 16:3 says, "Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established." It is critical to understand and practice this in a close relationship with God. Further, it is equally important to stay close to God and rely on His continued support and guidance throughout life. Jabez clearly knows and prays specifically to the One who can protect him from evil and pain -- God. At the end of the verse it is clear that God approved of this faithful prayer by granting it. It is also important to see that Jabez was passionate in his plea to God: "He cried out to the God of Israel." God wants to hear that we need Him through passionate prayer.
Blessings to all those who pray for peace worldwide
When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

ze Prayer Teams in every District, county, city and division of Uganda.
Each Prayer Team has a leader and 12 members who come together for worship, fellowship, discipleship, ministry and evangelism. The main purpose is to be the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The leader's focus is to train each member to recruit and train his/her own Prayer Team from the lost.
CityLight Prayer Team members are from many different cultures, countries, races, communities, societies and denominations but we are united as one body in Christ.
CityLight Prayer Team Members are committed to living the Two Great Commandments and carrying out The Great Commission. We are not separate from but active members in our local Christian Church.
CityLight Prayer Team Members are individuals, churches, ministries and businesses who have come together in prayer asking God to guide us as we respond to the needs of our community.
Uganda is divided into 80 districts, spread across four administrative regions: Northern, Eastern, Central and Western. The districts are subdivided into counties. A number of districts have been added in the past few years, and eight others were added on July 1, 2006.<11> Most districts are named after their main commercial and administrative towns. Each district is divided into sub-districts, counties, sub-counties, parishes and villages. Our goal in Uganda is to organize a CityLight Prayer Team in every one of these entities.
Parallel with the state administration, five traditional Bantu kingdoms have remained, enjoying some degrees of mainly cultural autonomy. The kingdoms are Toro, Ankole, Busoga, Bunyoro and Buganda.
