President Benigno S. Aquino III underscored the need to seek God's help in leading the nation to achieve inclusive and sustained economic growth.
In his speech at the opening day of the Asia for Christ Movement (AFCM) Mission Congress 2012 held at the Plenary Hall of the Philippine International Convention Center, along Roxas Boulevard in Pasay City on Tuesday, the Chief Executive acknowledged God's intervention to help the country's leaders in initiating changes in the fulfillment of their aspiration for the country’s stability and prosperity.
"Aminin ko sa inyo ho, nung nagumpisa kami sa ating panunungkulan eh talaga hong bigay ang katapusan ng bawat araw sa dismaya na natutuklasan natin na mga problema na kailangan ayusin," the President said.
The President said he is seeking God's guidance in dealing the issues and concerns of the country and the Filipino people.
"At ang naaalala ko lang nga ho, siguro ngayon lalo na napatingkad, na kada nga ho sitwasyon kung saan binibigyan tayo ng kalbaryo natin o ang mga mabibigat na problema, eh talagang binibigyan natin ng pagkakataon ang Diyos na tayo’y tulungan at ipakita, number one... ipaalala, na tao ka, mayroon kang kakulangan," he said.
"Sa lahat ng nangyayari sa ating bansa, ako na siguro ang unang aamin... Ito ba ay dahil nga ba sa napakagaling ko? Hindi naman siguro.... Ako ba ay napapaligiran ng mas magagaling pa sa akin? Nakakatulong po iyon... pero maski naman magaganda ang plano natin, maski na honest ang ginagawa natin, maski na talagang nagsumumikap tayo... pero hindi po tayo pinagpapala... eh wala naman rin pong mangyayari. Pero magtiwala ka at hindi mo kaya, sagot ka Niya," the President said.
He cited the congregation's long track record of Christian services and civic work that has inspired many of the Filipinos in their pursuit and continuing journey of national transformation.
"Nakakagalak talagang nakikita kayong lahat dito, nagkakasama sa pananampalataya at pagtitiwala sa kapangyarihan ng pagdarasal," the President noted.
During the event, the President was prayed over by the church leaders led by Brother Eddie C. Villanueva, chairman of the AFCM and Spiritual Director and International president of the Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide. - PNA
