Institution of the Lord’s Supper
23 For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; 24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, [a]“Take, eat; this is My body which is [b]broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” 25 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood.

Good morning beloved of YESHUA CHRIST JESUS. Beloved, when I was raised, I was raised by my grandfather—Sterling Shephard Sr.; my grandmother—Susie Shephard; my father—Freddie Shephard Sr.; my mother—Anne Shephard; my uncle—Lee A. Shephard; my aunt—Sue Jones; as well as several uncles and aunts of my father’s siblings.
Why am I saying this to you beloved, because there are a few things that my grandfather taught, not only by teaching, but by example. Beloved, my grandfather was the little Alpha male (JESUS CHRIST being the big Alpha male) in our family, in all of our family, on both my parents’ sides, my grandfather was “the man of GOD”. Amen.
What my grandfather, my grandmother, my father, my mother, my uncles and my aunts (not to mention Huse Beach Sr. or Earnest [Dirty Earnie] Holloway) taught me: was integrity and character, which gave birth to morals. Amen.
Beloved, I am absolutely astonished that of all the presidents that (some) black people would back, it would be one without the very important characteristics of integrity and character, which gives birth to morals. But beloved, because this president is the one those blacks have chosen, (after turning from and leaving He Who did deliver them from slavery) to give their very lives to: has not; integrity and character; proven by his habitual lying (just one example) therefore, morals have not been birthed in their president; the very president they have left YESHUA CHRIST JESUS for; He Who did deliver them from slavery. Amen: the very slavery their lying president has put them back in: Astonishing!
I am so much thankful beloved, for daily examples placed in front of me that exemplifies the blessing of referring to my grandfather as “the late great Sterling Shephard Sr. Amen. For beloved, my grandfather exchanged his GOD, for no-one and/or for no-thing, Amen; and I am exceedingly grateful for the blessing of being raised with integrity and character, for it has birthed morals in this one, a man of a great GOD; the GOD and Savior of my grandfather, Sterling Shephard Sr. Amen. Amen. Amen.
Should you so choose beloved of YESHUA CHRIST JESUS, join me as I say thank You Father-GOD, and partake of the sweet nectar my Savior and LORD-YESHUA CHRIST JESUS has provided for me, through His awesome Holy Spirit; that I glean of His awesome glory. Amen! Amen! Amen!

“24:1 | The text here says the Lord was aroused against Israel, and He moved David against them, while the parallel account in 1 Chronicles 21:1 says “Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David.” God never does evil or tempts people to do evil (James 1:13-15), but He does use evil agents to accomplish His purposes. In this case, He allowed Satan to incite David to take the census.
24:1-3 | This is not the first time the people of Israel were numbered: Moses did so twice at God’s command in Numbers 1 and 26. But after the people were settled in the Promised Land, we never read again of God requiring a census of Israel.” (THE JEREMIAH STUDY BIBLE—DR. DAVID JEREMIAH—NEW KING JAMES VERSION—WORTHY)
‘. . . “Numbers 26:57-65
New King James Version
57 And these are those who were numbered of the Levites according to their families: of Gershon, the family of the Gershonites; of Kohath, the family of the Kohathites; of Merari, the family of the Merarites. 58 These are the families of the Levites: the family of the Libnites, the family of the Hebronites, the family of the Mahlites, the family of the Mushites, and the family of the Korathites. And Kohath begot Amram. 59 The name of Amram’s wife was Jochebed the daughter of Levi, who was born to Levi in Egypt; and to Amram she bore Aaron and Moses and their sister Miriam. 60 To Aaron were born Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. 61 And Nadab and Abihu died when they offered profane fire before the Lord.
62 Now those who were numbered of them were twenty-three thousand, every male from a month old and above; for they were not numbered among the other children of Israel, because there was no inheritance given to them among the children of Israel.
63 These are those who were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who numbered the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan, across from Jericho. 64 But among these there was not a man of those who were numbered by Moses and Aaron the priest when they numbered the children of Israel in the Wilderness of Sinai. 65 For the Lord had said of them, “They shall surely die in the wilderness.” So there was not left a man of them, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun.
