Satan's greates desire

Did you realize that Satan at one time was an angel named Lucifer who committed a great sin and was kicked out of heaven? Many would say it was the sin of pride. But the pride he showed dealt with the area of worship. Satan's greatest desire in heaven was to be worshiped. In Isaiah 14 we find five “I will” statements Satan makes showing his desire to be exalted, lifted up, and worshiped. Even after his fall from heaven, his desire remained to be worshiped. In Matthew 4, one of the ways Satan tempts Jesus is by taking Him to a very high mountain and showing Him all the kingdoms of the world saying that he would give them to Jesus if he would fall down and worship him. The Bible teaches that this will continue to be his desire in the future. In Revelation 13 we learn that the people actually worship Satan (called the dragon) by worshiping the Anti-Christ (called the Beast). As a result it should not surprise us that worship and music is often an issue of controversy in the church. If Satan can’t be worshiped then he will do everything possible to keep people God from being worshiped. Keep that in mind the next time you feel like complaining about the music at your church.
