Paul refers to the gift of spirit that Timothy had in both I and II Timothy.
> KJV 2 Timothy 1:6 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.
What gift did Timothy have? Was he afraid to use it? The verse that immediately follows the verse above seems to suggest this.
> KJV 2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
From the following verse, I can gather:
1. The gift that would be received by Timothy was foretold (given by prophecy)
2. It was given by Laying on of Hands (Paul's hands by first verse quoted)
> KJV 1 Timothy 4:14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.
