We’ve already suggested that Bible Teachers can never be fully prepared for what might happen in the classroom, that they need to expect the unexpected<\/a>. Yet, there are some ways they can be prepared that will help them more effectively deal with the unexpected.<\/p>\n

Teachers who do not come to class as prepared as they can be tend to get more frazzled by the unexpected. They tend to find it harder to know how to use the situation as a teachable moment that reinforces\u00a0that day’s lesson.<\/p>\n

3 Areas in which Teachers should\u00a0be Prepared:<\/h2>\n

1) \u00a0Preparation of the Heart<\/p>\n

Teachers need to understand the importance of personal study of God’s Word and prayer. When their own hearts are prepared for class, they are more open to the leading of the Spirit who will give them the needed wisdom and understanding. It is no coincidence that within the context of the command to be filled by the Spirit in Ephesians 5:18 we read of being wise and making the most of every opportunity. Yielded hearts tend to be open vessels through which the Spirit works.<\/p>\n
