Firstly, ALL are NOT Apostles even though now everybody seems to be one or a prophet by carrying that title which is a major wave

Men and systems can ordain people into the Apostolic/ Prophetic office.

In Galatians 1:1, we read;

“Paul, an apostle, (𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝗲𝗻, 𝗻𝗲𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝗻, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead),” KJV.

Apostles clarify foundational doctrines and function as administrators. They MAY preach the message of salvation ( John 3:16) as led by the Holy Spirit, because Jesus is the cornerstone of everything they do (Ephesians 2:20), but their teachings (the Kingdom of God) is their main focus.

Office By Appointment

1Corinthians 12:28-29, “𝗦𝗼 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗵 [𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗛𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝘂𝘀𝗲]: 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗹𝗲𝘀 (𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀); second prophets (inspired preachers and expounders); third teachers; then wonder-workers; then those with ability to heal the sick; helpers; administrators; [speakers in] different (unknown) tongues.

𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗹𝗲𝘀 (𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀) Are all prophets (inspired interpreters of the will and purposes of God)? Are all teachers? Do all have the power of performing miracles?” Ampl.

The Apostolic office is not a choice of men or systems but by God Himself in Christ. Taking the title does not make you one, nor attending Apostolic conferences convert you to becoming one.

You benefit from Apostolic conferences in getting your area of calling strengthened by way of knowledge impartation, getting the vision of your calling clearer.

Timothy as a son to Paul remained a Pastor though he followed Apostle Paul and even became a co- labourer with Paul, the Apostle.

That did not transform Timothy into an Apostle. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗡𝗔 𝗶𝗻 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗵𝘆 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗣𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗔𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰. He knew that and was contented being the Pastor God called him to be.

Paul did not force him to become an Apostle by consecrating him into that office because he was following him or receiving his teachings even as a son.

You don’t have to be an Apostle because you are my spiritual son. Be content with who God says you are.

Do not be confused with that which is in vogue to miss out on your position of reward. 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗮 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴.

1Chron. 27:32, “Also Jonathan, David’s uncle was a counsellor (prophetic), a wise man,(apostolic) and a scribe (teacher): and Jehiel the son of Hachmoni was with the king’s sons.”

And with the life of Paul;

2Tim. 1:1, “Whereunto I am appointed a preacher,(herald, prophetic) and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.”

But the primary calling of Paul was Apostolic, as a wise master builder when he saw the vision as a prophet, and structured the house ( the Church) with the teaching grace.

2Corinthians 11:13, “They’re a sorry bunch–pseudo-apostles, lying preachers, crooked workers–posing as Christ’s agents but sham to the core…”

2Corinthians 11:20, “You have such admirable tolerance for impostors who rob your freedom, rip you off, steal you blind, put you down–even slap your face!” Msg.

2Corinthians 11:20, “For you endure it if a man assumes control of your souls and makes slaves of you, or devours [your substance, spends your money] and preys upon you, or deceives and takes advantage of you, or is arrogant and puts on airs, or strikes you in the face,” Ampl.

2Corinthians 11:20, “In fact, you let people make slaves of you and cheat you and steal from you. Why, you even let them strut around and slap you in the face,” CEV.

Don’t be envious of any gift and so try to migrate to the field you are not equiped for.

If those born into the tribe of Issachar should migrate into the house ( Tribe) of Judah seen as worshippers, they will be a misfit for they do not have that DNA within them

Friends, be strengthened in who God has called you to be. And be mindful of how you treat the flock of Christ, as a leader. They are not your flock.

For no shepherd in Israel owns a sheep. Moses worked for Jethro; David worked for Jesse. You are working for Christ, the owner of the flock.

Just a thought!
