**"GREATER IS HE: 1 JOHN 4:4 IN POETRY"**
*(Three Poetic Responses to the Anthem of Victory)*
---
### **1. THE RESIDENT CHAMPION**
*(A Sonnet of Indwelling Power)*
*"You fret as Goliath mocks your meager height,*
*But tremble, child—not at the foe, the *Fight!**
*For He who slumbers not within your soul*
*Has crushed this cursèd clown a thousandfold.*
*That bully’s blade? A twig beneath His feet.*
*Those taunts you hear? Just echoes of defeat.*
*The Giant-Slayer makes your heart His home—*
*Why wear fear’s rags when you’re dressed for His throne?*
*So lift your eyes (no, higher—past the fray),*
*Where angels lean to hear you whisper, ‘Stay!’*
*Then shout it till hell’s minions trip and flee:*
***‘Greater is He who lives in me!’"***
---
### **2. THE OVERCOMER’S CHANT**
*(Battle Cry in Couplets)*
*"When night howls loud and faith feels small,*
*When lies like lava rise to scald—*
*I’ll plant this flag upon the wall:*
***‘He in me is greater than all!’***
*No demon’s plot, no witch’s brew,*
*No curse can stick where Christ shines through.*
*Let hell convulse and wizards rage—*
*One spark of God outspeaks their age!"*
---
### **3. THE QUIET WHISPER**
*(Free Verse Assurance)*
*"You think it depends on your grip,*
*Your perfect prayers,*
*Your unshaken faith.*
*Child, the Overcomer*
*Doesn’t visit Sundays—*
*He *resides* in you.*
*That thing you fear?*
*It’s already flinching*
*At the *sound* of His name*
*On your sleeping breath.*
*So rest tonight—*
*The Greater One*
*Never sleeps."*

**SCRIPTURAL ECHOES:**
- *Luke 10:19* (Authority over darkness)
- *Colossians 1:27* (Christ in you, the hope of glory)
- *Romans 8:31* (If God is for us...)
**WARRIOR’S REFRAIN:**
*"Greater, greater is He!*
*Than the sum of all hell’s ‘might-be’s.’*
*No weapon formed can ever stand*
*Against the God who holds my hand."*
This truth isn’t just to *recite*—it’s the nuclear reactor inside every believer! ⚡✨
