ABOUT SMDN

Spiritual Maturity Development Network was birthed out of a dire need of its visionary to be an active fruit bearer for Gods Kingdom Matt 3v10.  At its core the SMDN vision to return the hearts of ALL believers to one basic Christian essential that is A GROWING —RELATIONSHIP WITH THEIR HEAVENLY FARTHER.

One of the massive stumbling blocks that hold believers back across the English speaking world is that we are culturally and linguistically removed from many of the concepts that the Bible uses as a platform to teach us about God’s Kingdom. Only those people who spend a lot of energy in studying scripture end up making some sort of headway in growing their understanding of the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus.

At SMDN we want to network with lay believers, ministers, missions, apostles, prophets, authors, artists, preachers and teachers… In fact, anyone that has a desire to gain a better understanding of God’s kingdom and grow to the full purpose and potential that God has intended for them. SMDN works hard at getting back to the basics of a Bible based faith while keeping it as simple as possible.  Not just sharing but growing alongside the people that partner with us in their journey.

Biblical Fellowship

Recently I had been asked to preach at a memorial service of a fellow police officer and friend that had passed after getting to difficulty in the ocean.  At that assembly, I had the wonderful privilege to spend some time with one of the men at the meeting. It seemed that there was a real hunger in his heart for substance in fellowship.   The conversation started and evolved as I have come to expect since my view of Biblical fellowship has been shaped over several years. Traditionally we refer to  Heb 10:25 ISV  "not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another even more as you see the day of the Lord coming nearer." On this occasion, we were hovering around the content of this verse and what it meant to believers in the current world setting where churches are being subjected to a radical decline in membership and attendance.  I believe that the masses have been starved of the true essence of our faith in Jesus during t...

We CAN claim to be victims like Adam did in the garden of Eden or we can take ownership of the personal space the Lord gave us to subdue and bring our life under His governance as obedient children that are eager to please our Heavenly Father. While it is true that we are very seldom able to chose the people that come over our path we DO have a say in who stays in our life. We also decide how long they stay. Some time back I heard a statement that went something like this. “People come into your life for a reason, season, or a lifetime.” I guess the challenge is trying to. Identify the purpose that someone serves when they come across our path In life. Some show up for a reason like changing our life direction or altering a mindset for us. Other may have more change to bring to our lives and so we may find that these people stay for a season. A very small portion of new friends stay or remain friends for the rest of our lives. How often are we reminded that we should only allow those w...

Esential Spiritual Inteligence

  When I listen to their responses it often becomes clear that their perspective on their faith in Jesus is strongly based on time spent with motivational teachers or speakers. They sound quite charismatic when they speak and are eager to share their testimony of encounters with Jesus. It is incredibly easy to be drawn in by their enthusiasm for Jesus. How important is it for a child of God to understand or grasp the meaning of scripture? Often I come across believers when I reach out to promote Spiritual Maturity in their hearts. So often I come across people that are hyped up and zealous for their faith. I love seeing people energised about their faith and when they share their experience it is often with joy passion and even with a spring in their step so to speak. In the presence of such energised people, it is very easy to feel they are in a good place and doing well spiritually.   Just recently I was in a store looking for a specific bible when I engaged with the s...
