Technically speaking, Lucifer
is just a fallen Archangel -- but it's a big "just." On the one hand, yes, he is capable of bestowing Words and infernal Princedoms to his forces. On the other, this is also the being that was defeated by Michael in hand-to-hand combat and thrown to the farthest edge of the cosmos.
So, no, he's not a direct analogue to God, though he certainly would encourage his troops to see him that way. The arrogance of Lucifer (and the fearful hope of his followers) is the belief that it doesn't
matter if he's equal to God so long as he's right.
