You have probably heard or read the statement, “God has already conquered the world,” which is true. The title of this post is “Satan Is the god of This world,” which means Satan is the god of all material (worldly) things.
I think everyone who doesn’t know should know Satan Is the god of this world. Case in point, you and your spouse qualify to purchase the home that both of you have always wanted. But in reality, Satan is the god of your new home that the Almighty God blessed you with.
2 Corinthians 4:4 NLT Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.
You may wonder why God would bless you with a new home that Satan is the god of. You must remember Satan Is the god of this world because he is the god of all worldly things such as homes, cars, money, etc. Satan is not the god of humans, but if you love that new home/car too much, then Satan becomes your god.
If you spend more of your time admiring any material object than you spend admiring Godly things, that material thing has become Satan, and Satan has become your god. Something awful will have to happen in your life before you realize you have abandoned Jesus (God in the flesh) and have accepted Satan as your god.
This is not true in all circumstances, but God allows Satan to give certain people an abundance of material stuff. God and Satan know which people will become victims of this scheme, and God will allow some of us to lose our salvation because of our lack of knowledge of God’s spiritual world.
These material things you favor more than God could also be your career, job, hobbies, or friends, and you never notice it until it is almost too late for you to change. It is essential for us to study the Bible so that we can understand why and how we acquire material things.
Even the best of us get deceived sometimes by Satan’s gifts of material things. Although, in reality, all material gifts come from God, the question is, why did we get such gifts? Did God give us these material gifts because he wanted us to have them, or did he allow us to receive these material gifts because he knew Satan is our god and we will serve Satan?
It is wonderful that we have a loving Jesus watching over us because God (Father) probably would have killed most of us long ago because of our ignorance of him. Jesus came to earth and died to rescue us from God’s (Father’s) wrath.
Some of us thought Jesus came to earth and died to save us from Satan, not realizing Satan cannot destroy our souls unless God (Father) allows Satan to destroy our souls. In reality, Jesus came to earth and died to save us so God (Father) would not destroy our souls.
Usually, when God gives someone an abundance of material things, it is so that they can share it with people who have only a few material things. Sometimes, God gives people an abundance of material things because he knows they will not share it with the poor; therefore, Satan becomes their god.
I have heard that people who have a lot of material possessions claim they acquired them because they worked hard, studied hard, or some other equally misguided reason. Most of these stupid people never thank God for their abundance of worldly stuff.
I want you to know all the material things you receive in this life come from God, and you had nothing to do with your receiving that material stuff. God gives us an abundance of material gifts to share with people who have little or for us to choose Satan as our god.
