Why does not God destroy Satan if He is omnipotent?

Because God has not yet worked out His purposes through Satan. Though Satan himself is evil God accomplishes His purposes of good through him. The day will come when we will understand what these purposes are, and will thank God even for Satan. God will make not only the wrath of man, but the wrath of Satan, to praise Him. The messenger of Satan that was sent to buffet Paul worked only good for Paul. He kept Paul from being exalted above measure (2 Corinthians 12:7).
