A. Do it for the least

"And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren,"

Done or "poieo" in Greek meaning:

1. to make or do

2. cast out, cause, commit, content, continue, deal

3. execute, exercise, fulfil, gain, give

Least or "elachistos" in Greek meaning:

1. least, very little, small

2. smallest

What does "least" mean:

1. A doer of the WORD

Matthew 12:49-50 (Amplified Bible)

And stretching out His hand toward [not only the twelve disciples but all] His adherents, He said, Here are My mother and My brothers.

For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother!

2. A little child

Matthew 18:5-6 (Amplified Bible)

And whoever receives and accepts and welcomes one little child like this for My sake and in My name receives and accepts and welcomes Me.

But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in and acknowledge and cleave to Me to stumble and sin [that is, who entices him or hinders him in right conduct or thought], it would be better (more expedient and profitable or advantageous) for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be sunk in the depth of the sea.

3. Very small - a tongue - but holds the power of life and death

James 3:4 (Amplified Bible)

Likewise, look at the ships: though they are so great and are driven by rough winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the impulse of the helmsman determines.

Proverbs 18:21 (Amplified Bible)

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it [for death or life].

Matthew 12:37 (Amplified Bible)

For by your words you will be justified and acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned and sentenced.

Every very small, insignificant, unimportant people that comes in and out of your life, do good to them, these people are sent your way for a purpose for you to become a blessing unto them.

Genesis 12:2 (Amplified Bible)

And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you [with abundant increase of favors] and make your name famous and distinguished, and you will be a blessing [dispensing good to others].

B. You've done it to the LORD

"ye have done it unto me"

Acts 9:4-5 (Amplified Bible)

And he fell to the ground. Then he heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me [harassing, troubling, and molesting Me]?

And Saul said, Who are You, Lord? And He said, I am Jesus, Whom you are persecuting. It is dangerous and it will turn out badly for you to keep kicking against the goad [to offer vain and perilous resistance].

Ephesians 5:30 (Amplified Bible)

Because we are members (parts) of His body.

Want to bless the LORD today? or in your daily life, bless the least (unimportant, insignificant, very small in quantity/quality/dignity) and do good to them. You have done it to the LORD not unto men.

Ephesians 6:6-7 (Amplified Bible)

Not in the way of eye-service [as if they were watching you] and only to please men, but as servants (slaves) of Christ, doing the will of God heartily and with your whole soul;

Rendering service readily with goodwill, as to the Lord and not to men,

The motivation is that whatever good you do, do it excellently because you're doing it for the LORD not to men.

Philippians 2:12 (Amplified Bible)

Therefore, my dear ones, as you have always obeyed [my suggestions], so now, not only [with the enthusiasm you would show] in my presence but much more because I am absent, work out (cultivate, carry out to the goal, and fully complete) your own salvation with reverence and awe and trembling (self-distrust, with serious caution, tenderness of conscience, watchfulness against temptation, timidly shrinking from whatever might offend God and discredit the name of Christ).

Colossians 3:22 (Amplified Bible)

Servants, obey in everything those who are your earthly masters, not only when their eyes are on you as pleasers of men, but in simplicity of purpose [with all your heart] because of your reverence for the Lord and as a sincere expression of your devotion to Him.

1 Thessalonians 2:4 (Amplified Bible)

But just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the glad tidings (the Gospel), so we speak not to please men but to please God, Who tests our hearts [expecting them to be approved].

IX. CONCLUSION:

Proverbs 19:17 (Amplified Bible)

He who has pity on the poor lends to the Lord, and that which he has given He will repay to him.

Ecclesiastes 11:1 (Amplified Bible)

CAST YOUR bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days.

Hebrews 6:10 (Amplified Bible)

For God is not unrighteous to forget or overlook your labor and the love which you have shown for His name’s sake in ministering to the needs of the saints (His own consecrated people), as you still do.

2 Corinthians 9:6-7 (Amplified Bible)

[Remember] this: he who sows sparingly and grudgingly will also reap sparingly and grudgingly, and he who sows generously [that blessings may come to someone] will also reap generously and with blessings.

Let each one [give] as he has made up his own mind and purposed in his heart, not reluctantly or sorrowfully or under compulsion, for God loves (He takes pleasure in, prizes above other things, and is unwilling to abandon or to do without) a cheerful (joyous, “prompt to do it”) giver [whose heart is in his giving].

Proverbs 22:9 (Amplified Bible)

He who has a bountiful eye shall be blessed, for he gives of his bread to the poor.

Praise, worship and thank You very much LORD JESUS for You are the One that I want to do good to, and You've taught me to do it, I can do it to the least of my brethren, and it's assuredly done for You.
