Joseph did under pharaoh and Peter does under Jesus
are we not a Priesthood? as a matter of fact we're a Royal Priesthood. 1 Peter 2:9 "But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:"Not in us the people or laity but in the apostles the priesthood
Jn 15:5

the Lord Jesus ministery is not just limited to apostles, and their successors only, for all are called into christ for a work . now not all are apostles, or prophets ..ect. but God can use anyone in the minstry.

so God's Gifts are not limited to a few individuals.
