Study
and observe the Word to a place where you as a male can replicate through
teaching the Word. When it comes to teaching, we teach what we are
knowledgeable about. Teaching is a purposeful act. A teacher takes into account
his audience. A teacher communicates in a language best understood by the
audience. In order to properly pass on information through teaching, you must
be a student the material (Ezra was).
Teaching
gives the teacher permission to hold his students accountable. It will be unfair
to do otherwise. As a male, generally, you need to possess a strong mental
capacity- in this case, spiritual soundness. Your communication of the Word of
God should be very fluent and eloquent. You should be the “go to” person in
your family for clarity about the Word of God. You should be the one who
gathers people for the purpose of sharing the Word of God. Instructing,
encouraging, directing them and more.
Ezra
8:9 (NIV)
Then Nehemiah the governor, Ezra the priest and teacher of
the Law, and the Levites who were instructing the people said to
them all, “This day is holy to the Lord your God. Do not mourn
or weep.” For all the people had been weeping as they listened to the
words of the Law.
Emphasis Mine
Once you identify your areas of responsibilities, make teaching a
non-negotiable part of life. By areas of responsibilities we mean you could be
a father, brother, co-worker, uncle, grandfather, mentor, etc. Purposefully replicate through teaching the
Word; Jesus did likewise. (Luke 11:1-13, Matthew 24, etc).
