| dc.description.abstract | Security is fundamental to social, economic and political stability of any nation. A powerful nation is known by her security architecture. Nations of the World vote huge amount of money annually for security of lives and property. This study examined the prophet as a Watchman who will be held accountable for the blood of his audience if he fails in his duty. Ezekiel 3: 15- 21 was chosen as text of investigation to establish how Yahweh appointed Ezekiel as a watchman for Judah in exile. As a corollary, the study explored how Church leaders in Nigeria have been chosen by God as Watchmen for the nations. African Biblical Hermeneutics was used. Study revealed that the roles of the Prophet in ancient Israel were that of a mouthpiece and a watchman. It was Judah’s persistent deviance to the warnings from the prophets that led her into captivity under the Babylonians. The paper concludes that those charged with declaring God’s word have the responsibility to be faithful because if they failed in their assignment they will be held accountable for the blood of their audience. Hence, the paper recommended that contemporary Church leaders in Nigeria are to faithful to their calling. | |
