"The Lord has been pleased to give me light on this question. I have been shown that ministers should not be retained in the same district year after year, nor should the same man long preside over a conference. A change of gifts is for the good of our conferences and churches. GW 420.1"
"Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit."
The EGW quote discusses the importance of diverse gifts and roles within the church, which aligns thematically with 1 Corinthians 12:4, which speaks of the diversity of spiritual gifts. While not a direct quote or explicit allusion, the underlying principle of diverse contributions is present.
