Lucifer had wisdom, beauty, ability, perfection, and yet he wanted more; he wanted to be worshiped like God. But God does not share His glory, nor does He permit another to receive worship. So before Lucifer had a chance to make his move, he was removed from the presence of God. Cast out of heaven like a bolt of lightning, Lucifer was stripped of his beauty, his position, and his rights to heaven. Satans constant attempt ever since has been to oppose the mighty plan of God. He even attempted tempt Jesus to sin and worship him. Lucifers name, son of the morning, was given to a far more deserving individual, the Son of God. Jesus Christ is called the Bright and Morning Star (Revelation 22:16). Today, Jesus is seated at the right hand of God, dwelling in the presence of the Almighty. Christs words hold true, even in the account of Satan: Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted (Matthew 23:12). The subject of Satan is not a pleasant one. Satans attempt to control this world system is nothing to take lightly. When you proclaim the Word and preach Christ, you must do so with utmost accuracy, power, and clarity.
