Acts 26:28.Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.
Almost means ”not quite, nearly but not, just about, etc., Don't be an ”ALMOST CHRISTIAN. ” Almost scored is not a goal.
We have ”Almost Christians” in their millions, but they are absent when it comes to being counted for the kingdom.
”Almost Christians” set their standards and choose only Scriptures that make them feel good, but when it comes to consecration to Christ and his kingdom, count them out. They don't sign up for that!
That's why gathering a mod of people to make them ”Almost Christians” is not the great commission but making disciples of all nations.
Matthew 28:18-20
Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.
”Almost Christians” are today the greatest market the false prophets, teachers, and apostles have since they can be easily manipulated and can't read between the lines. They are the patrons of our modern-day pseudo-ministries since they crave to entertain their flesh than crucify it.
One of the most challenging assignment one can ever undertake is to attempt to transform this pool of ”Almost Christians” we have everywhere into disciples. It is like taking an unwilling horse to a stream to drink water.
It takes a radical encounter with God to convert an Almost Christian. I pray the Lord gives us grace for this mission. It isn't an easy assignment but possible with God! Amen
