The Rise and Fall of Lucifer
Told by a Bayelsan Storyteller
My people, come closer. Sit well. Today, we go talk something serious—a story that began before even time itself. This na the story of Lucifer, the one we now dey call Satan or the devil. Many don hear am, but today, make we break am down well-well, like how elders dey reason gist for compound after evening fish pepper soup.
We go look who Lucifer be, how e take start, wetin make am fall, and wetin that one mean for us wey dey waka this life today.
Who Lucifer Be
First of all, make we understand say Lucifer no always be devil. No, my brother. E no start with horn and tail like wetin we dey see for film. The Lucifer wey Bible talk say, na one of God’s most beautiful angels. This guy fine no be small. His body dey shine like sapphire, gold, and precious stones wey dey under river. You see ehn, if Lucifer stand near you that time, your mouth go just open. Na real heavenly fine boy.
Bible talk say he get voice wey sweet pass nightingale. In fact, e be like say the whole music for heaven dey inside this one angel body. Anytime e sing, even other angels go bow because the sound go enter their bone like sea breeze wey dey blow from Nembe water side. Na so powerful he voice be.
Lucifer no just fine and get voice—he also hold high rank. Na archangel him be. Under am, angels full ground. Them dey answer him like how soldiers dey answer general. He get access to God’s throne. He dey enter presence of God anytime. If na today, e for be like top adviser to president, always close to power.
But as we go see, all this power and beauty begin turn e head.

When Pride Enter
Pride, my people... pride na silent poison.
One day, Lucifer begin look himself for mirror. He begin admire himself too much. “Ah, see as I fine. See as my voice dey sweet. Angels dey respect me. Why I no fit be like God?”
E begin reason say he fit collect God position. He forget say no be him create himself. Na God mold am, polish am, and put am for dat high place. But pride no go let person see sense. Lucifer begin whisper this nonsense to other angels—“We fit do our own, we no need to answer anybody.”
Na so e gather two-two, small-small angels join body. Dem begin form group like rebellious cult inside heaven. He say he wan raise him throne above God own, say he go sit on top stars and be king by himself.
But God no be man. Nothing dey hide from God. God just dey watch am like how fisherman dey watch fish enter trap. God sabi the heart of every creature. So when Lucifer heart turn dark, God know say e no go fit stay again for heaven.
The Great Battle in Heaven
As Lucifer and him crew dey plot, heaven begin shake. God say, “Enough is enough.” He call Archangel Michael, the warrior general of heaven. “Michael,” He say, “take your angels and clear this rebellion.”
Na there battle begin. My brothers, no be small fight o. Heaven scatter! Michael and his angels vs Lucifer and his own rebellious crew. For three days, war dey. Angels dey fall, lightning dey strike, things dey happen. Some spiritual estates for heaven scatter from the fight.
But as e be, you know say God always get final plan. Even before Lucifer start him madness, God already arrange defeat for am. Bible talk say God sees the end from the beginning. So He already prepare the blood of the Lamb—that na Jesus Christ. That blood carry power pass any weapon. That blood and the word of God na wetin give Michael final victory.
On the third day, when battle hot well, Michael use the blood and the word. Boom! Lucifer fall from heaven like thunder wey strike from sky. Him angels follow am drop. Bible say, “Woe to the earth, for the devil has come down to you, angry because he knows his time is short.”

The Shameful Fall
As Lucifer dey cast down from heaven, him beauty vanish. That heavenly glow wey dey shine for his body disappear. The glory wey make angels dey respect am dry up. Him sweet voice turn to bitterness. Power? Gone. Honour? Lost.
He land for earth empty. From beauty to beast. From prince of light to prince of darkness. From heavenly singer to accuser of brethren.
Now, this same devil wey fall na him dey waka up and down today, trying to deceive people. E no get peace again. E dey bitter, and e wan carry others join am for destruction.
