Genesis 18:14
"Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed
I will return unto thee, according to the time of life,
and Sarah shall have a son."
The sixth attribute of God is, God is omnipotent. "And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth," (Rev. 19:6). This means God can do anything if it can be done and if it does not contradict His own nature. For example: He cannot create a rock so heavy that He couldn't lift it, because the very nature of this act would be impossible to perform. God cannot lie, or steal, because these things would contradict His own nature.
Here are some areas in which God's omnipotent is clearly seen. (1) Over Nature: a. He separates light from darkness, (Gen.1:4). b. He separates the waters by the firmament (ie) space, (Gen. 1:7). c. He separates seas from the dry land, (Gen. 1:10). d. He measures oceans in His hands, and weighs mountains in His scale, (Is. 40:12). f. He regards nations as a drop in the bucket, and looks upon the islands as small particles of dirt, (Is. 40:15).
(2) Over Men: "The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty? While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee. And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will," (Dan. 4:30-32).
(3) Over Angels: "Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word," (Ps. 103:20).
(4) Over Satan: The first two chapters of Job deal with Satan's accusations against the patriarch before God (Job). The devil then subjects job to various fierce and fiery trials, but not before being granted the needed specific permission from the omnipotent God Himself, "And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD. And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life," (Job:1:12 ;2:6).
(5) Over Death: "Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage," (Heb. 2:14-15).
Amen!
