Prologue

T his book is a collection of revelatory experiences. A personal memoir, if you will. This is an exuberant and uninhibited expos of an inspired life. These are personal lessons from an excellent father influencing an amazing journey through rediscovery. This letter is addressed to one man, my father, Prophet Emmanuel Makandiwa. This is a heartfelt expression of appreciation for birthing, naturing and building me up into this full-grown: God-kind man. It is a humble enunciation of gratitude and a passionate conveyance of my deepest indebtedness to a man that has impacted my life immensely. I am a product of his spirit, workmanship, teaching, philosophy, passion, integrity, wisdom and excellence. This is a communal yet personal display of how God has packaged me a gift from and to Him. In the process, I am gradually rediscovering excellence through the extension of his glorious light. I realised that the best way I can ever appreciate my father is not through material means or spiritual, strangely enough. It is accessing and touching his heart. That is what I press toward. It is seeing knowledge increase and many lives transformed by the renewing of minds and accessing life eternal. This publication is a wisdom of excellence made available to senators seeking this elusive wisdom.

Introduction

Demystifying Excellence:
Book Summary

I n Demystifying Excellence, Bryne Dzomba describes a personal rediscovery of Excellence. The book is a theological discourse dedicated to a father and an inspired life. The book goes beyond the old and the new to explore a perpetual testament, the Testament of Excellence. It demystifies Excellence in a series of rich insights, from genesis to impressions for the individual. Each theme is thoughtfully presented to guide the reader through a comprehensive reflection on the topic. The reader will learn how Excellence is revealed and how it manifests through Gods design and divine craftsmanship. Excellence is explored through grace, standards, seasons and spirit. The who, what, how and where of Excellence are explored in the context of service and sonship. After each element is presented, guided by the wisdom of Gods Word, the reader is encouraged to reflect on Excellence by discovering their own presence and their own word. In each section, the author harmonises a fathers teachings, humbly acknowledged and woven throughout, with a lifetime of thoughtful reflection and meditation. This synthesis results in a book that reflects empowerment, sonship and faith, and wisdom shared from father to son and author to reader.

GENESIS OF EXCELLENCE

This is the year of Excellence.

PROPHET E. MAKANDIWA

Heb. 7:22 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.

On 4 July 1776, the US Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence penned by Thomas Jefferson, in which he coined the following statement: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Very interestingly, however, is that this preamble to the Declaration of Independence was not a reference to individual equality but to a collective and communal equality as a people to self-govern and hence able to declare independence. Of course, the notion and proposition of all men are created equal, individually, became more prevalent after the American Revolution, and to this day the notion of who that statement covers continues to expand.

To me, this was a very intriguing observation because, as I enquired and studied activities in the spirit, I soon realised that not all men are created equal. Not all power is created equal. Not all visions are created equal. Not all Testaments are created equal. God has power, efficacy and dexterity of skilfully separating the speech He utters from the speech you hear. Several individuals can hear different words, see different visions and experience different expressions of power, yet all are the same word, vision or power that proceed from God. It is as if God decides Himself to whom certain visions belong. While some visions may be similar, there are men and women who carry a peculiar grace to see, perceive, hear and understand beyond what most are capable of. There are certain prophets that stand out as you gather and tether this insightful and erudite realisation that not all prophets are created equal.

The vision and prophecy of Prophet Ezekiel are the pivotal and principal themes of this book. The man was made to witness a peculiar aspect of God that not many are privy to, even from before the foundations of the world: The Four Faces, Wheels and Wings of Excellence. This is how I coined this books subtitle, Rediscovering the Presence, Power and Reward of Eternal Life through Excellencefrom the Presence of the four Testaments, the First, Old, New and Last; the Power manifested through four institutions, the Man, Son, Nation and the Man that is Jesus; and the four Wings of Reward. It is intriguing to me that the title Son of Man is used of Prophet Ezekiel 93 times in his book. That title is mostly used elsewhere in the Bible of Jesus. To me, it is this preeminent and noteworthy affirmation of the most excellent principle of Sonship that stood out, to a Man who is an Excellent Testament unto Himself. When you study the history of the man Ezekiel, you will realise he was born into a priestly family of a man called Zadok. Ezekiel was both a prophet and a priest. He never got to function as a priest in Jerusalem, as he was exiled at age 25. According to the law, a minister could only serve as priest in the temple at the age of 30. What disqualified Ezekiel from priestly service was the absence of the temple. He only saw the glorious temple, which was yet to be established, in a vision. This temple, I perceived as a Testament. In Chapter 10, Ezekiel watched as the glory departed from the threshold of the house. Remember, this house, your body, is the temple of this Most Excellent Glory. In fact, in Chapter 11:23, he watched the glory of the Lord as He (Jesus) went up from the midst of the city (Jerusalem), stood upon a mountain (Mount of Olives), which is on the east side of the city, and then ascended to Heaven. This Glory, this Testament, this Excellence, is Jesus. In Chapter 43, he was positioned at the gate that looked towards the east (Garden of Excellence) and would see the same glory returning to the house from the way of the east. Why am I saying all this? The Spirit of Ezekiel has yet to fulfil his complete assignment. Before the last page of this book is turned, the following statement will ring ever so loudly in your ear,

BEHOLD THE TESTAMENT OF GOD IS WITH MEN
