Review:
* Principle 1: The sum total of your “portfolio” is the current inventory of Your Trust Account, and is there as a Result of a Direct Gift or a Gift Exchange.
* Principle 2: The inventory in your Trust Account is to be administered by You, the Trustee, for the benefit of others.
* Principle 3: As you, the Trustee, Transfer inventory out of your Trust Account into the Trust Accounts of others, God makes Compensating Deposits into your Trust Account . . . thus allowing you to Give even more into the Trust Accounts of others.
* Principle 4: God determines the AMOUNT, KIND and TIMING of the Compensating Deposits, the Trustee is only responsible for the current inventory in the Account.
* Principle 5: God has guaranteed to Take care of all your personal needs as Trustee as long as you are faithfully administrating your Trust Account.
* Principle 6: A Neglected Opportunity for a Trust Account Transfer (TAT) Negates the necessity of a Compensating Deposit.
* Principle 7: As a Faithful Trustee, your Trust Account is guaranteed never to be declared “Bankrupt.”
* Principle 8: Deposited into your Trust Account is exactly what Someone around you Needs.
* Principle 9: If you try to Selfishly Hoard that which has been deposited into Your Trust Account, it will become “Miser’s Manna” and will turn into rot.
* Principle 10: As a Result of a Trust Account Transfer (TAT), Three things Happen: (A) Needs are Met, (B) God is Praised, and (C) Others will Pray for You.
Let’s drill in a little deeper into Principle #10, regarding the Three things that Happen as a Result of a Trust Account Transfer (TAT):
For God, who gives seed to the farmer to plant, and later on, good crops to harvest and eat, will give you more and more seed to plant and will make it grow so that you can give away more and more fruit from your harvest.
Yes, God will give you much so that you can give away much, and when we take your gifts to those who need them, they will break out into thanksgiving and praise to God for your help.
So, two good things happen as a result of your gifts – those in need are helped, and they overflow with thanks to God. Those you help will be glad not only because of your generous gifts to themselves and to others, but they will praise God for this proof that your deeds are as good as your doctrine. And they will pray for you with deep fervor and feeling because of the wonderful grace of God shown through you. (2 Corinth. 9:10-14 TLB)
Needs Are Met: As you begin, out of your portfolio inventory, to share with others around you, their needs are met. Then, as they begin to share, it all comes back around . . . and your needs are met:
2. God is Praised: Each time there is a Trust Account Transfer, there is an opportunity for true worship to take place. Praise will go to God when you fully recognize him for who he is . . . The True Source . . . The Giver of Every Good and Perfect Gift . . . The Sole Proprietor and Grantor of Everything! Dependency will be placed on God for the meeting of future needs. Thanks will be rendered to God for his astonishing faithfulness in supplying every need:
What I want from you is your true thanks; I want your promises fulfilled. I want you to trust me id your times of trouble, so I can rescue you, and you can give me glory. (Psalm 50:15 TLB)
` C ) They will Pray for You: Not only will needs be met and God be Praised, but others will pray for you when they recognize that you are fitting into God’s plan and economy:
And they will pray for you with deep fervor and feeling because of the wonderful grace of God shown through you. (2 Corinth. 9:14 TLB)
