They were chosen (appointed) and ordained (John 15:16).

"Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them." (Acts 6:6)

"And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed." (Acts 14:23)

"Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery." (1 Timothy 4:14)

"Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands." (2 Timothy 1:6)

There are diversities of gifts, differences of administrations and diversities of operations, but all are of the same Spirit, Lord and GOD (1 Corinthians 12).  Not interference in the other way around.

Do you always try to teach a Greek how to read Greek or a Jew how to be a Jew or GOD how to be GOD?  It sort of seems that way.
