DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

1 CORINTHIANS 12:6-12

(4)  And there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
(5)  And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
(6)  And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
(7)  But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
(8)  For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom;  to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
(9)  To another faith by the same Spirit;  to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
(10) To another the working of miracles;  to another prophecy;  to another discerning of spirits;  to another divers kinds of tongues;  to another the interpretation of tongues:  
(11)  But all these worketh that one and selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
(12)  For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body:  so also is Christ.

COMMENTARY:

Brethren in Christ,  this context elaborates on spiritual gifts as given by the Father through the Holy Spirit for administration of all churches.

Case in point,  when the Holy Spirit comes upon us, he comes to commission us with gifts from the Father to do his will through us in the churches:  but we might asked yourselves,  "What is the will of the Father?"  The will of the Father, is to empower us in various aspects of the churches for his administration, and to save other souls to eternity.

Brethren,  when we receive the Holy Spirit, we are to pray to the Father through the Son (Jesus) to find out what our assignments are in the churches, and to perform those assignments:  Christians are useful branches of the body of Christ, through the anointing of the Holy Spirit:  if we fail to use our God given talents in the churches, we grieve the Holy Spirit of GOD, and the work of GOD cannot be made manifested in the churches;  therefore, let us ponder on the above context to see what Apostle Paul, is saying to us today;  and do the Fathers will by allowing the Holy Spirit to use us for his glory.

(Ephesians 4:30)  And grieve not the Holy Spirit of GOD, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

CONCLUSION:

Brethren in Christ,  Have we received the Holy Spirit yet?   If we have not yet received the Holy Spirit, let's pray to God through Jesus, the giver of all gifts;  he will anoint, empower, and commission us to function in the churches;  for without him we can do nothing:  but if we have the Holy Spirit already;  are we grieving the Spirit of GOD?   If we are, let us not grieve the Holy Spirit, but find out what our assignments are in our churches; and be useful in those areas for his glorification.  There is blessing in doing the will of the Father, in Jesus Name.   Amen and Amen!
