State, Ukanwa described Archbishop Maduoma as, “a man of God who depends on the grace of God, preaches the word of God, stays in the will of God, fulfils the purposes of God, represents the servants of God, edifies the family of God and devotes himself and his family to the ministry of God and His kingdom.”

In a sermon tagged, “The Epilogue of a defender of faith,” the cleric said the crucial component in any organisation, institution or business is its leadership and the vision of the leader. He added, “Good leadership can lift an organisation to the highest success, whereas poor leadership can plunge it into the depth of ruins.” This, he said, is the reason God is concerned about leadership in His kingdom. Ukanwa stated that Archbishop Maduoma led with the understanding that a leader must take heed unto himself and the flock of God. He observed that in a time where there are a lot of negligent leaders in the Church of God, Archbishop Caleb and his family kept the faith and served the Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion, diligently for over 40 years in clerical, episcopal and Arch- episcopal levels; not allowing anyone to make a messiah out of him.
