Here are the 5 fold ministries
Apostles
Prophets
Evangelists
Pastors
Teachers

Ephesians 4:11
[11]And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

Of these 5, Prophets seem to accrue more followers than others especially when the Prophetic gift is accompanied by the Teaching gift.
I've attended prayer meetings where tens of people will run after a Prophet to consult, get his contact or give him an envelope the moment he drops the mic.
Whereas no one approaches a Pastor who just raises prayer points and teaches the word in the same meeting where ministers take turns to speak.
In a derogatory way, some Pastors say things like " there is no prophecy besides the word of God, the world is full of fake Prophets and prophecies, don't allow prophecies fool you"

While Prophets respond with " where there is no vision the people perish, pastors who can't see visions don't know their left from their right "

Though many may not like to admit it, but there is a silent rivalry between Pastors and Prophets over who carries more spiritual authority.

The truth is , the grace of the 5 offices are needed at some point in a Christian's work and walk through life.
Let the rivalry stop.
