Justice Frank Seepersad says the country cannot progress without leaders who act with integrity and are prepared to make difficult decisions for the common good. He delivered the message at the MIPSHA Presbyterian Church as it celebrated its 152nd anniversary.
He warned that many people in authority pursue personal gain instead of service, saying, “Sadly, for many leaders, it is all about self-aggrandizement.” Justice Seepersad said effective leadership must align with God’s will and must be supported by action, not empty words.
He told the congregation that godliness is central to leadership and referenced scripture from 1 Timothy 4:7-10. He said those who guide others must first discipline themselves in righteousness, reminding members that, “Godliness is beneficial in every way, since it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.”
