2nd Samuel 22:3 The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my Savior; You save me from violence. 4 I will call on the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
[5] A craving for praise and self-adoration. An unusually insatiable craving for human praises, and adoration is one clear signal that the prince of darkness has significantly increased his footprint in the area, where persons indulge this craving. Praise and worship belong to God, for it is His due, because of the fact that everything, and all people were created by Him. Therefore, when any created being desires worship and praise, they are thereby attempting to rob The Lord of what is naturally and rightfully His.
This is what started the whole problem in heaven, which then led to the fall of one third of the angels. It was lucifer’s craving for worship and praise which led to dissatisfaction and fault finding with God, and anyone on earth who follows his lead, will inevitably be seeking worship, sooner rather than later.
Isaiah 14: 12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north. 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most-High.
Revelation 4:10 The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that lives for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, 11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
