Recovery And God's Own Possession

In this message, Kenny emphasizes that God's primary work is one of recovery, rooted in His eternal purpose to possess a people for His own. He highlights that the Bible consistently reveals God's nature as a God of recovery, beginning from creation, where the earth was waste and void, indicating a prior rebellion or chaos that God set about to restore. Kenny stresses that God's recovery work is wholly His own, accomplished through His sovereignty and power, with humans cooperating as helpers, not initiators. The Lord's repeated declaration, "I am the Alpha and the Omega," underscores His eternal authority and commitment to completing His purpose. The focus of God's recovery is to gather a people for His possession, a theme woven throughout Scripture from Exodus to Revelation, illustrating His desire to have a treasured, holy nation that reflects His glory. Kenny urges believers to see themselves as part of this chosen generation, privileged to be God's treasured possession, a jewel of immense value. He concludes by emphasizing the cost Christ paid to purchase this treasure, illustrating that believers are His inheritance and His ultimate expression. The message calls Christians to open their eyes and ears to God's divine purpose—to be possessed by Him and to possess Christ fully in their lifetime.Main Points OutlineGod is a God of recovery, beginning from creation and continuing through history.Recovery work is entirely God's own, with humans cooperating as helpers.The Bible repeatedly affirms God's purpose to possess a people for Himself, from Old Testament to New.Believers are privileged to be part of God's chosen generation and His treasured possession.Christ paid the ultimate price to purchase His treasure, the church, emphasizing its immense value.Our calling is to open our hearts and minds to God's divine purpose—to be fully possessed by Him and to possess Christ in return.>
