The devil will attempt to get people to worship him or themselves. This was a temptation that the enemy tried with Jesus during His 40 days of fasting in the desert. As stated in Matthew 4:9:

All this I will give you, he said, if you will bow down and worship me.

“Yeah, a thief in my heart coming to kill, steal me away from the calling (From the calling)”

The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
