Useful Principles for Custodians of God's Wealth

Often times individuals pray so that God can grant them the capacity to help others have better lives. One of the ways this is done is when some people are responsible and yet compassionate and wise enough to literally become "Custodians of God's Wealth". Oftentimes people when they know they are ready pray for this. This is completely different from Being Wealthy. Being Wealthy often times means a very big ego. Whereas a Custodian of God's wealth usually has a more benevolent and compassionate and wise side to them. They really aren't necessarily interested ever in Being Wealthy, they are interested in helping people of all ages survive, become successful in all ways and to survive. It is the difference between "Give a man a fish and he lives for a day" and "Teach a man to fish and he lives for a lifetime". And so people like this become Mentors for others. Often Non-Profits can be set up in this way and other times Credit Unions can also be set up like this as a non-profit to benefit others. Co-ops can also be set up this way. But there are also Mentors that pray to become Custodians of Wealth for God in order to be "like a Monastery on a Hill" so others can be helped when sometimes they feel they have no hope.

People who become really good at mentoring are usually (but not always) over 40 years of age. It has given them time to learn and to become compassionate in practical and wise ways and to begin to learn who can actually be helped successfully, and also who no matter what is done for them likely won't succeed in life. So, the problem is then finding out who it is actually "SAFE" to help for mentors who are gifted in helping others. I think finding out who is safe to help mentor might be the hardest thing to do of all. Finding the money is actually much less hard than finding those who will not only help themselves when helped but also spread the giving to others and to others and to others, so eventually the whole human race is helped by this efficient and wise compassion in action.

Then there is learning about the actual economic side of all this. Here are some of the basic rules of being able to give without ceasing.

The first rule is a very basic economic principle: If you spend your principal, soon you will have nothing left to give. What does this mean?

It basically means that if you spend what is invested you will have no more interest or dividends with which to help others. So, the first rule is: Don't ever spend your invested principal but only mentor with
interest and dividends. In this way your mentorship becomes the gift that keeps on Giving sort of like the Golden Goose that lays the Golden Eggs.

For many people who don't understand this it can be a very very hard thing to learn. But if you learn it the hard way and spend your principal then your mentorship is over possibly permanently. So, this principle on principal must be absolute so that you literally become the "Gift that Keeps on Giving" and this means that you honor what God has bestowed upon you in the service of his children who are all the people you meet that he shows you to help for the rest of your lives.
