Each believer has received a gift that manifests the Spirit’s power and presence. That gift is given for the good of the whole community - 1 Corinthians 12:7[VOICE]. According to the preceding verse, each believer, which means you and I and everyone that has confessed Jesus as their lord and saviour has received a gift from God, but why everyone?
Just think about it, why would God bother to give you a gift at all if it's just going to be a decoration in your life. If the manifestation of the Spirit is meant for just ministers i.e Pastors, teacher, apostles, evangelists, etc, then why bother giving that manifestation to everybody? This suggests that while everyone might not have been called to the ministry as we know it, everyone has been called to an assignment that requires the manifestation of the Spirit.
Therefore, I believe Apostle Peter must have gone back to preach to his former colleagues in the fishing business and I believe some of them must have given their lives to Christ. So, while the manifestation of the Spirit in Peter helped him in his apostolic work, the manifestation of the spirit in his former colleagues too would have been see in their fishing business. Likewise, Matthew the tax consultant would have also gone back to minister to his colleagues, and when they received the Spirit, He must have manifested in their career.
Hence, you don't have to be a Pastor, teacher, preacher or prophet for the Spirit to manifest in you. If it was given to every man, then it means every man needs it. If you are born again, then you have the Spirit in you, but has He found an expression in you, or you just like Him dormant? God Bless You!
