Nigerian gospel singer, Victoria Orenze has elaborated on her controversial reference to God as “Jehovah El-Steeze.”

She had used the popular term, “Steeze,” to describe God’s powerful and impressive nature which triggered mixed comments online.

While some criticized her choice of words, Victoria has now provided clarification, drawing parallels with biblical descriptions of God’s majesty.

In a lengthy post on X, Victoria interprets “Steeze” as a term signifying exceptional style and composure. She believes God exemplifies this characteristic, citing scriptural passages that depict Him as a powerful fire, radiant light, and a force that commands attention.

The singer encouraged others to look beyond superficial expressions and behold God’s awe-inspiring presence. She emphasized that the meaning of words like “Steeze” remains unchanged, even when used in informal contexts.

She wrote:

“Steeze is an English word in the dictionary which speaks of a person’s distinctive and impressive way of doing things or style also one who has composure.

“God’s distinctive and impressive way, style and composure blows my mind. Scriptures says, He is a consuming fire Heb. 12:29 another says He is wrapped in light meaning He wears light psalms 104:2 another says the cloud is His vehicle psalm 104:3, His eyes are like fire Rev.19:12, 1:14 and His voice like thunder, like the sound of many waters. Another says in His presence mountains skip like ram psalm 114:1-8.

“He is not just composure but everything else created, looses their composure before Him. He is not just covered in light but He is light. Today He can ride on the cloud as His vehicle and tomorrow He is riding the wind. That’s why I call Him my Jehovah El Steeze.

“I follow understanding and revelation not slangs or trends. Pause in your trends and see God. Finally i leave this with us – The fact that we have used the word “Steeze” as a slang or another example word “loose guard” as slangs does not change their meaning in English. Scriptures says the ONE that watches of me neither sleeps nor slumber, So I can safely say my God does not and can never loose guard. ❤️🤗.”
