God is Omnipotent, An Attribute of God

Omnipotent is an attribute that only God possesses.  God alone is omnipotent.  There is no other being, angel or otherwise, that is omnipotent.  Omnipotent means “possessing unlimited power; all powerful.”  Out of nothing, God spoke into existence the heavens, the earth, all the stars, the galaxies, planets, moons, holding them together in perfection at the right distance from each other.  He did not mold them together; He spoke all of creation into existence out of nothing.  “Let there be light” and there was  light.  The definition “possessing unlimited power” does not really convey to us God’s omnipotence.  We are limited in our understanding.

Omnipotence is the attribute which describes God’s ability to do whatever He wills.  There is no end to God’s power.  There is no limit to God’s power.  It is as easy for Him to cause a leaf to fall by saying “leaf fall from the tree” as to create a universe by saying “universe, be” and there’s a whole new universe.” 

 

‘Ah, Lord God! It is you who have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm! Nothing is too hard for you. Jeremiah 32:17  (ESV)

His power is over all people, nations and languages and His omnipotence is an “everlasting dominion.” 

And to him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed. Daniel 7:14 (ESV)

God’s power is not limited to events.  His dominion is also over the heart and mind of man.  He has and can bend the mind of man for His purpose.

The Proclamation of Cyrus

In the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom and also put it in writing: Ezra 1:1 (ESV)

We cannot change one thing for the very hairs of our head are numbered (Matthew 10:30).  We cannot draw an extra breath than what is appointed to us (Luke 12:20).  Nothing is impossible with God (Luke 1:37).

The power or omnipotence of God no boundary.  As God is eternal, His omnipotence or power has no limits.
