✨πŸ‘‘ Gold Robes, Not Dirty Robes: Confess Mo Na Yan, Bes Part 2 πŸ‘‘✨

(Sexual Sins to Confess Devotional for Gen Z Manila)

πŸ“– Scripture Reading

Rev 19:7–8 (ESV):
“Let us rejoice and exult and give him the glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready; it was granted her to clothe herself with fine linen, bright and pure—for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints.”

Deu 32:4 (ESV):
“The Rock, his work is perfect, for all his ways are justice. A God of faithfulness and without iniquity, just and upright is he.”

Exo 28:39 (ESV):
“You shall weave the coat in checker work of fine linen, and you shall make a turban of fine linen, and you shall make a sash embroidered with needlework.”

πŸ’” The Problem: Dirty Robes of Sexual Sin

Let’s be real, bes. Ang daming tukso sa paligid—porn, hookups, lustful DMs, and secret habits na alam mong hindi aligned sa pagiging bride of Christ. Ang tawag ni Rev 19 dito? “immorality that corrupts the earth.”

Sexual sin feels good for a moment, pero it stains our robes. Hindi ito joke—Paul even says sa Rom 2:5 na kapag hindi tayo nagrerepent, we’re just “storing up wrath” for ourselves.

πŸ‘‘ The Hope: God’s Justice and Mercy

Pero hindi ito “end game” ng kwento. Moses sings sa Deu 32:4 that God is “The Rock”—perfect in justice, faithful, upright. Meaning, kahit messed up tayo, God judges fairly AND gives grace when we repent.

And the best part? Like the priests in Exo 28 na sinuotan ng fine linen garments, tayo rin ay binibigyan ng new robes—bright and pure. Hindi ito self-made; it was granted her (Rev 19:8). That’s God’s gift through Jesus.

πŸ•Š️ The Call: Confess Mo Na Yan, Bes!

  1. Expose the stains. Name your sexual sins before God. Wag nang i-deny. Lust, porn, premarital sex, secret thoughts—confess it.

  2. Change the robes. Ask Jesus to clothe you in fine linen—righteousness that He provides.

  3. Walk pure. Like the bride preparing for her groom, live holy and ready for the Lamb’s wedding banquet.

πŸ™ Reflection & Prayer

“Lord, I confess my sexual sins. Wash me clean. Strip away my dirty robes and clothe me with Your righteousness. Make me ready as Your bride, holy and pure. Amen.”

🌟 Final Reminder for Gen Z Manila

✨ Have a meaningful fast.
πŸ“– May you be sealed in the Book of Life.
πŸ”₯ The Great White Throne: The End.

πŸ‘‰ Bes, are you ready to trade your dirty robes for gold ones?

Oy, Promises, Problems, and a Portable Water Skin (Genesis 21:13–17)

Genesis 21:13 “Nu, don’t kvetch, Avraham. Even Ishmael—the boychik of the shifkha (slave woman)—I’ll make him a nation, ’cause, nu, Χ–Χ¨Χ’Χš hu, he’s your offspring. Oy gevalt, family trees come with many branches!” Genesis 21:14 “So Avraham, the early-riser tzadik, packs a survival kit: one lechem-to-go, one BotaBag 1.0 full of water, plops it on Hagar’s shoulder like a holy hiking backpack, says ‘shalom, good luck,’ and—poof!—sends her wandering into Be’er-sheva wilderness, aka GPS signal dead zone.” Genesis 21:15–16 “And when the BotaBag runs dry (classic desert problem), Hagar benches the kid under a bush—like, ‘Stay here, sweetheart, Mama needs a cry break.’ She schleps a bowshot away, kvetches, ‘I can’t watch this!’ and bursts into full Middle Eastern melodrama weeping.” Genesis 21:17 “But Hashem goes, ‘Hagar, ma kara lach? ΧžΧ” לך , don’t panic. Chill! I heard the boy’s voice—yes, even dehydrated kids still kvetch loud. Fear not, I got this.’” πŸ• Commentary God blesses I...

The LOL Baby Boom of Abraham & Sarah (Genesis 21:5–8)

Image
Verse 5 “ Un Avraham was a hundred years alt when his son Yitzchak came out screaming like a shofar at 3 AM. Oy vey, a centenarian changing diapers? That’s emunah!” Commentary: Gill says Abraham was exactly 100, not 99 and three-quarters. He had already applied for senior citizen discounts, and now suddenly, he’s shopping for baby formula at Costco. Takeaway: Faith means believing Hashem can make a TikTok dance go viral with a 100-year-old influencer. Impossible? Nu, exactly the point! Romans 4:19 “ He considered his body, which was as good as dead (translation: Grandpa energy, no more push-ups), and Sarah’s womb, which was on permanent vacation. Still, his faith didn’t collapse like WiFi during a typhoon.” Verse 6 “ And Sarah said: ‘G-d made me LOL! Whoever hears this, they’ll LOL too. First I laughed in disbelief, now I’m laughing because Hashem turned my menopause into mamash motherhood.’” Commentary: Rashi reminds us: when Sarah got her miracle, other barren women g...

So, Your Uncle’s Family Tree is Complicated

Image
Scripture Snapshot: Genesis 22:20–24 – Right after the near-sacrifice of Isaac, Abraham hears the family update: his brother Nahor has had kids… and among them is Bethuel, who fathered Rebekah (yep, future wife of Isaac). 1. God’s Timing is on Point 🎯 Abraham just had the wildest weekend ever (like, climb a mountain, almost sacrifice your son, angelic intervention wild). He’s probably thinking, “Wow… if Isaac had died, no grandkids, no covenant, no Messianic playlist for the nations.” And boom—right then, God drops the news: Isaac’s future wife has already been born. Like, God was five steps ahead the whole time. πŸ‘€ Gen Z takeaway: When life feels messy and dramatic (and your brain is like 27 browser tabs open with lo-fi beats in the background), remember: God’s already setting things up. He’s got divine foresight. 2. Nahor’s Family: The OG “It’s Complicated” πŸ§‘‍🀝‍πŸ§‘ So Nahor’s got kids with his wife and his concubine. Yeah… the Bible doesn’t shy away from messy family ...
