Leadership is a universal phenomenon which cannot be trivialized. This necessitate the need to critically examine the Council of Yahweh in line with African leadership. The divine council of Yahweh is an assembly of divine, spiritual beings over which Yahweh, the one true God presides. This Divine council is very well attested Jewish theology. These beings participate in decisions with Yahweh, execute these decisions in creation and rule over creation on Yahweh’s behalf. In the desire to restore the image of God, Yahweh chooses uniquely men and women of God to join him in His divine Council. Traditional and political leadership in African context, leaders should observe the operation in the council of Yahweh especially when it comes to making judgement, in order to deduce a proper attitude revealed in various biblical passages.
