Matthew 24:45-51 A Message
From "Old Faithful" Yellowstone National Park has a famous geyser named
"Old Faithful" The park has many
geysers but "Old Faithful" is best remembered because Oswall Russell a
trapper made records of it's eruptions.
It erupts for about four minutes every six-five minutes and it shoots
into the air from 120 to 150 feet high.
"Old Faithful" attracts crowds because of it's faithful eruptions.
Some of the other geysers are bigger and more spectacular, but
because they don't erupt on a regular schedule they are usually past by. "Old Faithful" magnifies a lessons we need to learn
about faithfulness. We as
Christians cannot be effective unless we are faithful in what we have been
given to do by God. The reason "Old Faithful" erupts is because of an
inner fire. If it were not for
that fire it would not be world famous.
Our relationship with Jesus Christ should keep a fire within in us
causing us to want to share the gospel with everyone we meet.. "Old Faithful" is not located in the most convenient
location. It takes several hours
for people to get there but they keep coming as they know "Old Faithful"
will erupt on time. The
faithfulness of this geyser is what causes people to come time and time
again. If our Churches and
Pastors are faithful in our teaching and preaching we can also be as
effective as this geyser. "Old Faithful" will pour
itself out each time it erupts.
Because it empties itself it must be filled time and time again.
If we are going to be faithful we must be continually filled and
filled with the power of God in our lives.
We need to learn to become like the geyser, "OLD FAITHFUL".
