And again, the duty of the President of the office of the High Priesthood is to preside over the whole church, and to be like unto Moses—
Doctrine and Covenants 107:91–92
Behold, here is wisdom; yea, to be a seer, a revelator, a translator, and a prophet, having all the gifts of God which he bestows upon the head of the church.
