God’s Call to Ministry- Part Nine: Giftedness-Teaching
- The gifted teacher is passionate about study, understanding, and explaining. He is compelled to transfer truth to his students in a simple and memorable style. After a spirit-filled teacher has taught, people walk away being challenged and convinced in their minds and hearts of how and why they should become more Christ-like. People are appreciative of the teacher. They stand in awe of the God this teacher has just described. Others’ awe of God is the teacher’s ultimate compliment.
- “. . . if it is teaching, let him teach.” (Romans 12:7)
- Preparation and prayer are your greatest tools if you are gifted as a teacher. Immersing yourself in truth, struggling with truth, and living out truth in your own life are prerequisites to being effective. Knowing your audience is critical. Truth needs to be packaged differently for different people. The best teachers teach out of brokenness, from their own failures, and as a fellow learner. Satan trembles and God is glorified when this type of teacher teaches!
