Seja Cheio

Samuel Mariano's song 'Seja Cheio' is a powerful anthem that calls for spiritual empowerment and active engagement in spreading the Christian faith. The lyrics emphasize the importance of utilizing the gifts and anointing bestowed by God to make a tangible impact in the world. The repeated question, 'O que você tem feito com a unção que Deus te deu?' (What have you done with the anointing that God gave you?), serves as a reflective prompt for believers to assess their spiritual contributions and responsibilities.

The song underscores the necessity of being 'cheios' (full) of the Holy Spirit, power, and authority to combat evil and bring about positive change. The imagery of being 'revestido com a couraça da justiça' (clothed with the breastplate of righteousness) and wielding a sword signifies readiness for spiritual warfare. This metaphorical language draws from biblical references, particularly the 'Armor of God' described in Ephesians 6:10-18, highlighting the need for spiritual preparedness and resilience.

Mariano's lyrics also stress the urgency of evangelism and the transformative power of being filled with the Spirit. The lines 'Pelas ruas evangelizar' (Evangelize through the streets) and 'Pelas praças de Jesus falar' (Speak of Jesus in the squares) illustrate a proactive approach to faith, encouraging believers to take their message to public spaces. The song critiques spiritual emptiness, suggesting that those who are 'vazios' (empty) cannot effectively win souls or advance the faith. Instead, it advocates for a life filled with the Spirit, as only then can believers truly fulfill their mission and 'ganharemos o mundo para Cristo' (win the world for Christ).

'Cheios de poder' (full of power) and 'cheios de unção' (full of anointing) are recurring themes that encapsulate the song's core message: spiritual fullness is essential for overcoming challenges and making a significant impact. The song serves as both a motivational call to action and a reminder of the divine empowerment available to believers, urging them to embrace their spiritual gifts and responsibilities with vigor and determination.
