(Romans 12:7 KJV) Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching
The gift of teaching is something that we think we understand. We have all had teachers who seemed to have a real touch, either through being a student or observing them.
I tend to think that this gift is sometimes focused. When I am teaching the Bible or theology I sometimes feel like I have the gift. When I am teaching in the public school I sometimes wonder what I am doing there. I think it is possible to have a gift of teaching in one and not the other.
Like all gifts there is a responsibility that extends beyond the gift. You may be called upon to teach even though you don’t feel it is your gift. You can still do a good job. Remember that for every Michael Jordan (that dates me) you need four other people to make a team.
Pray that God would reveal your gifts and bring forth those who are prepared for the tasks before us.
