An ILLUMINATE teaching on why we pursue God in devotion: to know Him, through the Holy Spirit, in a knowledge that is relational and experiential.
Key thoughts

“The primary essence of our devotion is to know God. The purpose of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer is to transport us into the knowledge of God and guide us in its intricacies.”
Ezra Anya

“The knowledge of God for the believer is not merely intellectual, but must be relational and experiential.”
Ezra Anya
- 03
“God's desire is to bring man to the point of complete trust and dependency on Him. Not in prayers, fasting or study, but on Him.”
Ezra Anya
- 04
“We are not called to compete with the world using the world system; we are called to save and disciple nations by the knowledge of God. The knowledge of Jesus is enough!”
