Teaching is a leadership gift. The Greek word "didaskalos" meaning 'master' is used to connote a teacher in the scriptures. Jesus was given this description in John 3:2. Hence, a teacher is a specially called person that imparts instruction and communicates the knowledge of the word of God effectively as if he is the author of the bible (Romans 12:7; 1Corinthians 12:29; Ephesians 4:11)
