God is so powerful that he spoke the world into existence. God is so powerful that He parted the Red Sea. God is powerful that He rose Jesus from the dead. But is God so powerful that He can go against His own word? No. God is not more powerful than His Word. God must submit to His Word and do what it says? He says He will do. But is not the Word of God God? Because of it, God is all powerful because nothing has more power than the Word of God. The Word of God is more powerful than God's desires. Or is it? God desires to see His Word kept, fulfilled, and submitted to.
Perhaps it is confusing. God desires that we all be prosperous and in health even as our soil prospers, but when we, refuse to work, save, invest and especially tithe and give, God cannot prosper us because that would be going against His Word. Only the diligent shall prosper. We are to look to the ant who has no leader but stores up his food during the harvest. God cannot rebuke the devourer unless we are tithers, but refuse to work, save, invest, and give His Word that He will do so if we bring all the tithe into the storehouse. God desires to pour out blessing on us that there will not be room enough to hold it, but God will not and cannot do this when we refuse to obey Him and tithe. We must give of the first fruits of all our labor. One can see from this example that God does not always get His desire. But ultimately God does get His desire because He desires to see His Word fulfilled and it is. God desires that His Word is true and that we can trust His word to be fulfilled. Therefore, God is all powerful because His Word cannot be broken, even by God's desires.
