San Miguel Corp and Benham Rise – are these God’s answer to our prayers?

Seems like God is starting to move HIS mighty hand, would it be that these events are HIS answers to our prayers?

Observation #1: San Miguel Corporation bought Petron, ExxonMobil and the potential undersea plateau Benham rise which is rich in natural gas and even oil. Would it be that God is providing enough resources, capital and experience to San Miguel Corporation in terms of energy management and exploration so that HE can use the conglomerate to mine the Benham rise? Imagine the future; San Miguel Corporation will be the same with Shell, BP, Caltex and the other bigger players in the industry. Imagine a 100% (I might not correct on this, it might be 90% or lower than that, please comment to correct me) Filipino brand as one of the biggest energy exporter.

Observation #2: We are now feeling the shift of economy. The economy is shifting from North to South and from West to East. China is now awake and their presence in the world economically is now felt. The good thing about this is that they are investing in our country. Sooner or later, there are more Asian companies that will rise. Because of Asian interconnected economies, there are more Filipino companies that will rise too and invest to nearby countries. Isn’t it that this is God’s hand working in this part of the globe to our advantage?

Observation #3: Our President, PNoy is serious and determined to clean the Philippines from corruption. PNoy is starting to expose corrupt practices in the government. Would it be that God’s hand is also on this? Although our country will attract investments and generate more jobs, if a big percentage of our tax will go to someone else’s pocket and will not cycle back to the improvement of our infrastructures, education, health and other key areas in the government – still – our progress is slow or the same. Isn’t it that this is God’s hand working on our government?

The three above are observations and I don’t know if they will happen. God is the only one Almighty and All-knowing. Though, there is one sure thing that I do know – God answers prayers.

Matthew 7:9-11

New King James Version (NKJV)

⁹ Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? ¹⁰ Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent?¹¹ If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him! 

So my brothers and sisters in Christ, let’s continue praying incessantly. Let’s go to the throne of God and pray that HE will heal and bless the Philippines. Only God can change our country.

2 Chronicles 7:14

New King James Version (NKJV)

¹⁴ if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
