My Late Mother, Bishop Grace Dauji, Was A Beacon of Light, and A Mother to Nations – Evangelist Rhonda Obe
Evangelist Rhonda Ugoada Obe, the US-based eldest child and daughter of the late Bishop Chioma Grace Dauji, Presiding Bishop and General Overseer of Amazing Grace Pentecostal Church (AGPC), has paid tribute to her late mother, describing her as a spiritual guide, beacon of light, mother to nations, and an extraordinary source of inspiration.
According to Evangelist Obe, her mother impacted lives beyond boundaries, embodying the role of a mother to everyone around her, and not just her biological children. She generously played this role without distinction, treating all children as her own and welcoming everyone into her home without hesitation.
Bishop Dauji’s philanthropic foundation, Great Life Changers Foundation International (GLCFI) which cared for orphans, the abused, vulnerable persons, ex-convicts, and widows, was a testament to her belief in treating everyone with dignity.
Evangelist Obe stated that her mother’s home was often filled with children who were orphans and homeless, whom she personally cared for and attended to their needs.
She emphasized that her mother was not just a servant of God but a living embodiment of her faith, leaving behind a legacy that continues to impact lives visibly and audibly. She lived and demonstrated a Christ-like life through her actions and teachings.
Describing her mother’s attributes, Evangelist Obe said, “She was a woman with a man’s heart, full of service – a true servant of God and an angel from heaven in human form.” She recounted that her mother was given several names due to her selfless deeds, unbiased attitude, and godly lifestyle.
Bishop Dauji was known for her excellence, discipline, and hatred for laziness, always encouraging people to do the right thing and understand the consequences of their actions. Her discipline was not about aggression but about giving direction and clarity, accepting corrections graciously and teaching her children to do the same.
Evangelist Obe expressed gratitude for the values her mother imparted, stating that though it’s challenging to fill her shoes, they will strive to carry on her legacy, living the life she exemplified.
She noted that Bishop Dauji was humble, could take correction from anyone, and would often reference scriptures about correction.
Throughout her life, Bishop Dauji remained hands-on, preferring to work at her own pace, doing what she loved most – fulfilling God’s purpose and serving God without considering retirement.
