1 Corinthians 12:11, Dividing to Every Man Severally As He Will

1 Corinthians 12:11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

Hendricksen observed well, “No one in the Christian community receives all the gifts and no one is without a gift. Paul asserts that the Holy Spirit allocates them to each person in the church, to the one this gift and to another that gift. The Spirit neglects no one, so that the totality of talents in the church constitutes a rich reservoir of ability and proficiency.”

He further insightfully, “He implies that the Spirit prohibits the recipients of these gifts from boasting of rank or recognition. The Spirit of God knows what the church needs and thus distributes gifts wisely and effectively.”

May the Kingdom of God advanced from strength to strength. Amen.
