Hello A.Amos. I see you’re still here. 🙂
As to answering your question, actually I did indeed answer it. But I’ll try to be more specific. And yes, you can borrow my explanation above.
Every member of the Body of Christ is and should make themselves available to God to be used in any of the giftings/manifestations of the Holy Spirit as the HS so leads. While being a serving elder or an overseer or similar other kinds of leadership service to the Body of Christ is not a manifestation of the HS in itself, yet those who have spiritual experience and are able to teach not being a new convert, should be willing if God puts it on their hearts to serve the Body of Christ as a guardian of sorts. When Paul says “anyone who desires” the work of overseer desires a good work, I’m quite certain he meant “anyone who desires”. Anyone may desire such a service as long as they qualify, and the main qualification IMO is one of being a person (man or woman) faithful to the Word and the Spirit of the Word.
