5 GIFT (operation) in the BODY
GIFT 1 Apostles

The word apostle most commonly refers to one of the 12 original disciples or followers of Jesus, to follow him, and to do what he did.
So if you know your innate ability, or talent is to build, establish, or uphold, then thats your GIFT from God, use it to build his Kingdom.
GIFT 2 Prophets

Prophets are God’s messengers to the world, they are to warn, proclaim, and comfort the people of God through encouragement and exhortation.
GIFT 3 Evangelists
Evangelists to preach the Gospel, and evangelize the Good News of Jesus, to spread information and to market JESUS to the outter skirts of the World.

GIFT 4 Pastors

GIFT 5 Teachers
Teachers to teach the principles, values, and the Word of God in its purest form.
Teachers are meek and patient with their students. Teachers teach, not beat others with a book over their heads. They introduce principles and values, and leave it up to the person, to practice what they have learned.
Purpose of the Gift is to use it
For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.
The perfecting of the Saints - To create Lions, not sheep. Sheep are constantly dependent upon the shephard, lions lead!
There is a territory that is assigned in the Kingdom, but there is WORK to be done in the Kingdom, and all 5 opperations of the Gift are needed to expand the Kingdom.
FOR PERFECTING OF THE SAINTS, AND THE BODY.

Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ
