He is essentially an abstract - except unlike Marvel's abstracts he's an abstract for God's power.His defeat and imprisonment was due to a couple factors:
1. He's ultra-passive.
2. Backstabbed
3. Sandalphon is also a top tier angel. He alone is probably at least a match for the Lantern team.
Now, I don't know where you're getting the idea that Michael is far more powerful than Luci, because they're stated literally every other panel as being equals.
Lucifer is also an abstract - this time for God's will. His ability to warp reality is infinite. He just doesn't do it that much because that would make for a really lame story and because he stated that he prefers to work through others. He could casually erase the Lantern team from existence, just as Michael could.
He's more powerful than Sandolphon as well but that doesn't mean a less powerful character can't beat him. He doesn't fight like this with a gesture and thereby loses just like against Sandolphon.
1. I agree so he's not smart in battle. Kudos to me.
2.Yes, we've already established how idiotic and stupid Michael is in battle.
3.He's not that formidable in the series angels were killed by demons, etc. This guy gets easily killed and the angels weren't anywhere near as formidable in the entire run as you are trying to make them out to be since far less has killed many.
Michael is power Lucy is the will therefore Michael can defeat Lucy with a gesture along with the other angels making him far more powerful. It's right in the comic.

I already addressed your points. You may or may not have read the story but at the very least you seem to have a deep inability to misunderstand the circumstances and read the caption boxes of the story. You've missed several points that were already addressed within the story itself.
I understood the story perfectly and know it's out of character for Michael to end anything with a gesture immediately and also know his durability can't take attacks from the super lanterns.
