God is referred to as El-Shaddai in the Bible in the
following Scriptures.
Genesis Chapter 17 verse 1 where He made a call to
Abram to holiness and righteous living.
See also Genesis 28 verse 3 where Isaac blessed
Jacob in the name of God Almighty praying that God Almighty would make Jacob
fruitful and multiply.
Genesis Chapter 35 verses 11 to 12 where He
instructed Jacob to be fruitful and multiply.
Psalm 91 verses 1 to 8 talks about the protection,
life security which a child of God who dwells under the shadow of the Almighty
enjoys.
Jacob prayed for his sons that God Almighty would
give them favor before the governor of Egypt, who unknown to him then was his
supposedly dead son Joseph. Please read Genesis Chapter 43 verse 14.
Jacob really knew and understood God as the
Almighty. As he talked about his life sojourns with Joseph, Jacob was mindful
of the fact that God Almighty appeared to him at Luz and blessed him. Beloved,
what is your knowledge and understanding of God as the Almighty? Can you say
that you know Him as the Almighty God with Whom nothing is impossible and Who
is in perfect control of the entire universe?
He is the Creator of the heavens and the earth as
well as anything; animate and inanimate in the entire Universe. Please read

All power wherever it is situated belongs to God.

verse 23, 42 verses 1 to 2, and Romans Chapter 4 verses 17 to 25. God also has
the power to create out of nothing with His words. Please read Genesis Chapter

He has no limits and is not limited by anyone or
