Andrew Wommack Devotional 12th September 2021 – Forgiving Others Is To Your Advantage
ANDREW WOMMACK DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR SUNDAY 12 SEPTEMBER 2021
TOPIC: FORGIVING OTHERS IS TO TOUR ADVANTAGE
SCRIPTURE: Mark 11:25 ‘And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.’
BIBLE READING: MATTHEW 21:20-22; MARK 11:20-26
There are qualifications for believing and receiving as well as restrictions for receiving answers to prayer. Unforgiveness in our hearts will keep our prayers from being answered. We should forgive others as quickly as it takes to make the decision to pray. The Greek word for ‘when’ means ‘whenever, as soon as, or while.’ When we stand praying, we must forgive if we have ought (‘anything at all, the least little part; whatsoever’) against anyone. When we are offended or hurt, we often feel justified in holding a grudge.

The Old Testament law expressed this when it stated, ‘Eye for eye, tooth for tooth’ (Ex. 21:23-25). Until the offense was paid, we did not feel free to forgive. However, God dealt with all men’s offenses by placing sin upon the perfect Savior who was judged in place of every sinner of all time. To demand that others must earn our forgiveness is not Christlike. Jesus died for every man’s sins, extending forgiveness to us while we were yet sinners, and we should do the same.
It is doubtful that a person who refuses to forgive has ever experienced forgiveness himself. This is comparable to the servant that Jesus talked about in Matthew 18:23-35. He was forgiven a debt of over $3,000,000,000 and yet he refused to forgive his fellow servant who owed him $3,000. The forgiveness that we have received from the Lord is infinitely greater than any forgiveness we will ever be asked to extend to others. Freely forgive as you have been forgiven.
