THE SUPERIORITY OF GOD
By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

INTRODUCTION:
God is not just one among many; He is above all. He is unrivalled in power, wisdom, glory, and sovereignty. When we speak of the superiority of God, we are acknowledging that there is none like Him in heaven or on earth. No being, force, ruler, or spirit can stand beside Him. He is incomparable, matchless, and eternally supreme.
From Genesis to Revelation, we see God proving His superiority over the gods of the nations, over creation, over human reasoning, and even over the works of darkness. His superiority is not just in power but also in character, mercy, justice, and love. Understanding this should build our confidence to trust, worship, and obey Him wholeheartedly.
In a world filled with false gods, human achievements, and demonic manipulations, the believer must constantly return to the truth that God is above all. Recognising God’s superiority helps us to rest in His promises and see all challenges as under His control.
1. GOD IS SUPERIOR IN POWER
(Exodus 15:11, Job 9:4–10)
God's power has no limit, no rival, and no comparison. He speaks, and it is done. He creates from nothing and controls all creation by His word. His power humbles the proud, delivers the oppressed, and silences the enemy.
a) He Created the Heavens and Earth with a Word – Genesis 1:1–3
No one else can create something out of nothing. Only God can.
b) He Overthrew Pharaoh and the Egyptian gods – Exodus 12:12, Exodus 14:30
He proved His supremacy by defeating Egypt’s powers.
c) He Raised Jesus from the Dead – Romans 1:4
His resurrection power confirms He is above death.
d) He Sustains All Things by His Power – Hebrews 1:3
The entire universe is held together by God’s superior strength.
Biblical Example: God displayed His superiority by parting the Red Sea, proving no power could stop Him (Exodus 14:21–31).
2. GOD IS SUPERIOR IN WISDOM
(Romans 11:33–36, Isaiah 40:13–14)
God’s wisdom is infinite and unsearchable. He knows the end from the beginning and makes no mistake. His plans are perfect, and His timing is always right.
a) His Thoughts Are Higher Than Ours – Isaiah 55:8–9
Human logic cannot fully comprehend His ways.
b) He Uses the Foolish to Confound the Wise – 1 Corinthians 1:27
God’s strategies are far beyond human imagination.
c) He Foreknew and Predestined Our Lives – Romans 8:29–30
His plans for us were written before time began.
d) He Answers Prayers in the Best Way and Time – Ecclesiastes 3:11
His wisdom is seen in how He aligns every event for good.
Biblical Example: Joseph's life was divinely orchestrated by God’s wisdom to save nations during famine (Genesis 50:20).
3. GOD IS SUPERIOR OVER ALL OTHER GODS AND POWERS
(Isaiah 45:5–7, Psalm 86:8–10)
All other gods are idols. God alone is the Creator and the Almighty. No deity, demon, or power of darkness can rival His authority.
a) There Is No Other God Beside Him – Deuteronomy 4:35
He is the only true and living God.
b) He Commands Even Evil Spirits – 1 Samuel 16:14
Demons tremble at His presence.
c) He Exposes and Destroys Evil Altars – Judges 6:25–28
His presence overthrows every strange power.
d) Every Knee Must Bow Before Him – Philippians 2:10–11
All creatures must acknowledge His lordship.
Biblical Example: On Mount Carmel, God proved His superiority by consuming Elijah’s sacrifice while Baal’s prophets failed (1 Kings 18:36–39).
4. GOD IS SUPERIOR IN LOVE AND MERCY
(Psalm 103:8–12, Lamentations 3:22–23)
Though He is all-powerful, God’s heart is full of mercy and compassion. His love reaches to the lowest sinner and restores the broken.
a) His Love Is Everlasting – Jeremiah 31:3
God’s love never runs dry.
b) His Mercy Triumphs Over Judgment – James 2:13
His mercy preserves us even when we deserve punishment.
c) His Grace Is Sufficient for Every Weakness – 2 Corinthians 12:9
He empowers us through His loving grace.
d) He Forgives All Iniquity and Heals All Diseases – Psalm 103:3
His compassion restores both soul and body.
Biblical Example: The Prodigal Son received a loving welcome despite his rebellion, proving God’s superior mercy (Luke 15:20–24).
CONCLUSION:
Our God is in a class of His own—matchless, almighty, and incomparable. He is supreme in power, infinite in wisdom, unrivalled in authority, and rich in mercy. There is no challenge we face that can surpass Him, no battle He cannot win, and no prayer He cannot answer.
As you come to know and believe in the superiority of God, let your faith rise above fear, your worship rise above circumstances, and your loyalty rise above worldly distractions. The superior God deserves your highest devotion and deepest trust.
