“What have you done?” The Spirit of God is asking us all the same question. “What have you done, my will or your will?
“Jesus said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.” What have you done?
God asked Adam, Eve, and Cain the same question, “what have you done?” If you are born of the right Spirit, then you will have to face the fact that God is dealing with you concerning his will for your life. Being religious is not doing God’s will. We have churches full of people who want God to do his works, but who is seeking to do his perfect will for their life. What have you done?
We all must face the judgment seat of Jesus Christ and give an account of the deeds we have done, and also what we have not done.
Jesus forgave two men of their debts. One owed a lot and the other owed little. The one who owed a lot put the other one in prison for not paying back his debt. Have you forgiven people the way Christ daily and continually forgives you? What have you done?
Jesus will set his sheep on his right hand and the goats on the left. Then he will say to those on his left, Depart from me, you cursed into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: for I was hungry and you gave me no food; and I was thirsty and you gave me no drink; I was a stranger and you did not take me in, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.” What have you done?
The woman, who poured the oil on Jesus feet and anointed him for his burial, did what she could. Jesus also washed his disciples feet, and then asked them if the knew what he had done? He had washed their feet to show them that they should wash one another’s feet. Have you done what you could? Have you washed your brother’s feet? Have you judged or forgiven your brother? Have you fed the poor, or visited the sick, and those in prison? Have you clothed the poor? What have you done?
The woman who cast in her two mites, did all that she could do? What have you done?
“For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. For what shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world and is himself destroyed or lost? What have you done?
“Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name, cast out demons in your name, and done many wonders in your name? And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you who practice lawlessness! What have you done?
Therefore whoever hears these sayings of mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on a rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded upon the rock.
But everyone who hears these sayings of mine, and does not do them, will be a foolish man who built his house upon the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.” What have you done?
There were ten virgins, five were wise and five were foolish. Those who were foolish took their lamps and no oil with them, but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the bridegroom waited they all slumbered and slept. At midnight a cry was made. “Behold the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him! Then all ten arose to go and meet him.
While the foolish went to look for oil, because their lamps had gone out, the bridegroom came and the door was shut. Afterwards the foolish said, Lord, Lord, open the door for us? He answered and said, I do not know you. Watch therefore for you know neither the day or hour in which the Son of man is coming.” What have you done?
“Therefore whosoever denies me before men, him will I also deny before my Father who is in heaven. And he who loves father and mother more than me is not worthy of me. And he who loves son and daughter more than me is not worthy of me.”
“Even so likewise, whoever of you who does not forsake all that he has cannot be my disciple.” What have you done?
A certain man planted a fig tree and came seeking fruit on it and found none. Then he said to the keeper. I have come the last three years to seek fruit from this tree and it bears none for me. Cut it down. The dresser said, let it alone one more year and let me prune it and dig around and fertilize it. And then if it bears fruit well. But if not, after that you can cut it down.” What have you done?
Strive to enter in at the straight gate, for many I say unto you, will seek to enter and will not be able. When the Master of the house has risen up and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock at the door; saying, Lord, Lord, open for us, and he will answer and say to you, I do not know you.” What have you done?
Therefore we must give a more earnest heed to the things, which we have heard, lest we drift away. For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast and every transgression and disobedience received a just reward. How shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at first was spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to those who heard him?” What have you done?
“Jesus said; Straight is the gate and narrow is the way that leads to eternal life and few there be that find it, because broad is the gate and wide is the way that leads to destruction and many there be that go in that way. The love of many will wax cold, and many will follow their covetous ways, and the way of truth will be evil spoken off.” What have you done?
Where is your fear of God? Who warns you to flew the wrath of God that is to come? Where can you go and prepare to meet God? All the secrets of our hearts will be judged and revealed on judgment day. Because God has appointed a day in which he will judge the secrets of all hearts by Jesus Christ, who he has appointed to be judge over all. What have you done?
There will be no failing to appear in the day of judgment, because we all will be judged for the things we have and have not done in this life.
I pray that you will present your heart and life to Jesus and surrender your will completely to him this coming year. I pray that he will find you faithful doing his will? I ask in Jesus name that you stand with God’s servants who labor in the fields to minister his Word and Spirit of Life.
