How to Find Your Sweet Spot

Text: Matthew 9:35 – 38 New International Version

35 Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. 36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. 38 Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”

The Potential-Problem-Passion trifecta is useful for identifying your competitive advantage, niche, or God-given sweet spot. This trifecta is synonymous with your G.O.D trifecta, i.e., Gift, Opportunity, and Desire. To know your sweet spot, you must identify your:

1. Gift (skill/potential) – what are you good at? What ability can you serve people with? For example, Jesus Christ healed every disease and sickness – healing (v. 35).

2. Opportunity (problem) – what does the world need? What value are you able to add to people? For example, Jesus Christ provided compassion to the fainthearted (KJV) and helpless (NIV) – compassion (v. 36).

3. Desire (passion) – what do you love? What noble cause is dear to you? For example, Jesus Christ desired workers who were “spiritual shepherds” from God – workers (v. 38).
