1 Corinthians 12:8-10 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:

Allow me to point out what might not be obvious, Spiritual gifts are neither natural nor vocational. You are neither born with them nor are they learned. You cannot be trained in the use of spiritual gifts. You can however exercise your faith to identify how God might manifest Himself in these spiritual gifts. Your faith is the release point of spiritual gifts. Your faith is the first and most important of the spiritual gifts for without it, nothing is possible.

Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Spiritual gifts are a reward for faithful seeking. You do not control spiritual gifts, they are spiritual in form, power and purpose. Spiritual gifts do not serve you or the body, but rather the will of God.

We do not possess spiritual gifts, you are used of God in the exercise of the Holy Spirit, or not.

It might be noteworthy to see that the only gift that appears in more than one format is the vocational and spiritual gift of prophecy. At one time the office of the prophet was vocational. Look to Samuel and see that he was given by his mother at a tender age to grow up in the school of the prophets. Men dedicated their lives to the office of the prophet. Only a few became Elijah or Elisha or Isaiah or Jeremiah.

Consider this, that prophesy is nothing more than the revealed mind of God. If used as encouraged in 1 Corinthians 14:3, then all should prophesy to the edification and comfort of believers. Not to be an Elijah but to show forth Christ in love and grace.

Ephesians 4:1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, 4:8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. 4:11-12 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

The gifts of service appear within the body of Christ as it is given within the body by God. Note well that these gifts are not for the glory of men, not for honor of me, but both to the glory of God and the building up of His church, the bride of Christ to be all that He would have His bride to be in this life.

Just as with the natural talents, these gifts of service best serve God by remaining faithful to their calling, to their vocation, and do not seek secular success. Yet men are men and do see themselves to be messengers of God and that the message is more important than He who sent them, if God sent them at all. These services are vocationally available to anyone who would seek it. Success does not identify the gift.

Philippians 1:15-18 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will: The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel. What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.

Once again, as with the natural talent, do not look to those who serve as being anything other than servants, that the gift given might be seen in the fruits of the labor by the effectual workings of the Spirit within the body to build up and further the growth of the bride in righteousness and holiness.
