WHATSOEVER!

Matthew 25:34-41 AMP
“Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father [you favored of God, appointed to eternal salvation], inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. [35] For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; [36] I was naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me [with help and ministering care]; I was in prison, and you came to Me [ignoring personal danger].’ [37] Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You something to drink? [38] And when did we see You as a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You? [39] And when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ [40] The King will answer and say to them, ‘I assure you and most solemnly say to you, to the extent that you did it for one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it for Me.’ [41] “Then He will say to those on His left, ‘Leave Me, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels (demons);

Whatsoever you do to
the least of my people
that you do unto me
when I was hungry you gave me to eat
when I was thirsty you gave me to drink
now enter into the home of my father
Whatsoever you do.
I know so many of us sang this song growing up but never paid much attention to it, in the same way, we ignore the scripture’s implication to our faith.
I grew up watching my parents do “whatsoever” and honestly, there was a time I thought my parents were too soft, been used, or too nice, but I got smart and wise when I got older to know that the most things that help us sell “Christ” is our “whatsoever.”
I got smart to know that my whatsoever aligns with Luke 6:38, without my whatsoever, I cannot get my running over.
Do you see the list of Jesus whatsoever? They are all basic essential needs- needs that are commonly around us daily, that do not require to be even out of pocket, needs we can meet from our kitchen cupboards, drawers, fridge, and even our spare change. But do we see it this way? No! the Father never expects us to give what we don’t have, illustrated by Paul and Silas in Acts 3:6, whatever you have is your whatsoever, it will be a huge blessing to Christ through a brother or a sister.
One man’s bin is another’s treasure! The whatsoever that may look inconsequential in your eyes may just be what someone needs at that time.
I came downstairs one early weekday morning because of the knock on my door, I young man introduced himself as my neighbor down the road (I’ve never seen him before), he asked if I could lend him £2 to get bread and milk for his daughter to have breakfast before going to school, he promised to bring back the money the next day. What to do. I could have reacted in several ways, but I felt if knocked on my door, then it was my duty, I gave him the money and told him not to worry about paying back, in my mind, I really wasn’t expecting him to come back and he didn’t. what is £2? He may have been an Angel.
Those of us who have money, neglect to help those in our midst who need a little more money, instead we criticize their spending habits and condemn them but what does James 2:14-17 say? Whatsoever!
When among the destitute and distressed we discerned that Christ comes in disguise that may not always catch our attention but for the love of God in our heart, we must learn to see beyond our selfish needs to see the needs of those around us who need whatsoever.
There is a reward to whatsoever we do for anyone, especially the least, the downtrodden, the weak, hopeless, and oppressed around us.
Pure and undefiled religion James 1:27 say is showing sympathy and kindness to alleviate others’ distresses and to visit the lonely, elderly, and widows. These are whatsoever.
We do not do whatsoever for what we can get in return but for Christ’s eventual and eternal record keeping. Whatsoever you do, do for Christ.
Shalom
