Gospel singer Victoria Orenze has addressed the controversy surrounding her use of the term “Jehovah El-Steeze” to describe God.
While some critics saw it as inappropriate, Victoria explained that “Steeze” represents exceptional style, composure, and impressive nature, drawing parallels with biblical descriptions of God’s majesty.
Victoria cited scriptural passages depicting God as a powerful fire, radiant light, and a force that commands attention, emphasising that God embodies the characteristics of “Steeze”.
She encouraged others to look beyond superficial expressions and behold God’s awe-inspiring presence.
Victoria also clarified the meaning of words like “Steeze” remains unchanged, even when used in informal contexts.
She emphasised that her understanding and revelation of God’s nature are rooted in scripture, not slangs or trends.
She wrote on X: “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, loses 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 slang 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 slang does not change their meaning in English. Scriptures say the ONE that watches me neither sleeps nor slumber, So I can safely say my God does not and can never loose guard.”
