Christian Poetry: Lucifer, I'm not a Prey!

Oh how hard I gave in to deception

Oh how much I took the devil’s impression

Oh how much I wanted an out from this oppression

But I’m too intimidated to cry for solution.

Lucifer placed before me a three course meal.

Wherein deceit was the appetizer

Oppression my main meal

Intimidation my dessert.

The devil called me to dine and I did eat.

He beckoned me to his party and I did go.

For little did I know that he wouldn’t let me go.

My fear was the devil’s delight.

He saw me as a soul to prey on.

He wasn’t scared of making me his captive.

Because I was an untaught believer. 

I had access to riches

But I was perishing in penury

I was living like a prisoner 

Because I wasn’t taught

On how to access my riches.

I had advantages

But the devil still had an advantage over me

All because I wasn’t aware of my advantages in Christ.

I was held in the claws of Intimidation,

Of fear,

Fear of the unknown 

Of guilt, 

Guilt of past errors

All of which God remembers no more.

Then I got knowledge

I became taught and I realized how much I’ve been cheated.

I slipped out of the devil’s hold

With the right knowledge,

I declared over my long term imprisonment

I stepped into the freedom Christ purchased for me.

I got angry,

Shaked of the shackles I’ve been held in.

It’s game over for the devil.

I’ve dined and supped with him long enough.

It was high time I bade him go.

Lucifer, I’m not your prey.

It’s over.

And when I say it’s over.

I mean it’s really over.

Take your leave now!

I’m not your prey!
