Once you have identified your strengths, acknowledged your weaknesses, and discovered your opportunities you are ready to set your sights on the targets. It has often been said “if you aim at nothing you are sure to hit it.” It can also be said when you define your target you are much more likely to hit it.

Opportunities may come from your own strengths. However, not all opportunities are based on your strengths. Some come from the open doors God puts before us. Some even enable us to overcome our weaknesses.

Admitting your weaknesses can be depressing unless you see the opportunities. Whenever we do a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Targets) assessment on our ministry, or do a personal profile, it should lead us to seeing opportunities.

After several years of ministry I was introduced to a process called “Biblical Profile.” This process helped me to see some of my strengths. This process also revealed some of my personal weaknesses.
