If you are a teacher of God's word, you don't do it for the income, but for the outcome.

A true anointed teacher knows that the Holy Spirit is the teacher. Our income is peace from God,  which we already have, the outcome are mature disciples.

It is The Holy Spirit that does the teaching, we only present a vessel for Him to teach through.

Being obedient to His leading, we prepare the materials that will help with the growth needed.

Ephesians 4:11-13
And He Himself gave some to be apostles, and some prophets, some evangelist, and some pastors and teachers.  
For the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.

Teachers help reveal the gifts in others, for as they teach, it will become clear what others gifts are.

Teachers help to shape the mind so that they can know Christ, intimately. Personally, not get caught up in a formula, but to hear what God desires from them.

Romans 12:4-8
For as we have many members in one body, but all members do not have the same function, so we being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.
Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophecy in proportion to our faith; or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; he who teaches in teaching,
he who exhorts, in exhortation;  he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence, he who shows mercy with cheerfulness.

There is a part for each member of the body of Christ. 
Do you see the ones that God has given you by His grace? I said ones, because as you grow you will discover other gifts that you have.

Beloved, if we would all use the gifts that God has placed in us, the body will function well, it will be healthy and reproduce.  Think on this.

God bless your day
Jesus loves you
