Matthew 25:35-41 NET
For I was hungry and you gave me food, 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 gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.’
[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] When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or naked and clothe you?
[39] When did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’
[40] And the king will answer them, ‘I tell you the truth, just as you did it for one of the least of these brothers or sisters of mine, you did it for me.’
[41] “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you accursed, into the eternal fire that has been prepared for the devil and his angels!

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!
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 for our faith.
I grew up watching my parents do “whatsoever” and honestly, there was a time I thought my parents were too soft, being used, and too nice, but I got smart and wise when I got older to know that most things that help us sell “Christ” are our “whatsoever.”
I got smart to know that my whatsoever aligns with Luke 6:38, that without my whatsoever, I cannot get my running over or overflow.
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 us to even be out of pocket, and 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, a young man introduced himself as my neighbour down the road (I’d 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 he 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 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 hearts, we must learn to see beyond our selfish needs to the needs of those around us who need these 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
