Cabinet commenced its weekly meeting on Friday with the customary meditation, led by a pastor from the Pentecostal Church, who reflected on Psalm 8.

The pastor drew attention to the majesty and greatness of God as revealed through His creation. He reflected on the heavens, the moon and the stars, emphasizing that the vastness and beauty of the universe demonstrate the power and glory of the Almighty.

He highlighted the significance of the Psalmist’s reflection on humanity, particularly the question of why God, who created such an immense universe, remains mindful of mankind and has entrusted human beings with responsibility over His creation. He reminded Cabinet that although human beings may appear small in comparison with the greatness of the universe, they hold a special place in God’s plan and have been given the responsibility to exercise stewardship with wisdom and care.

The pastor encouraged those present to recognize that positions of authority and responsibility should be approached with humility, gratitude and a sense of accountability. He underscored the importance of seeking God’s wisdom and guidance in the discharge of their duties, particularly when making decisions that affect the lives and welfare of the people.

He reminded Cabinet that leadership must be exercised with compassion, integrity and a commitment to the greater good, acknowledging that human wisdom alone is insufficient without divine direction.

The meditation concluded with the pastor offering a prayer, asking Almighty God to protect the members of Cabinet, grant them wisdom and discernment, and guide their thoughts, decisions and actions as they carry out their responsibilities in service to the nation.
