An Interesting question which would likely cause theological problems for most. First you must be a little more specific, i.e. which god are you reffering to? If you meant the christian god then you should have capitalized the G. Let's assume this is what you mean.
1. God is all-powerful meaning there is nothing impossible for him. (by the way the use of him or he is nutral not masculine the God of Christianity has no gender)
2. God is omnipresent meaning he is everywhere.
3. God is creator meaning all that exists came into being by and through him. Thus God has created/made everthing that exists.
4. God sustains creation by his will and power. Thus one might say he holds it all together. Thus he is able to lift/hold/sustain all that there is.
5. Scientist say that the Universe is boundless/limitless and thus is the greatest thing that could ever exist.
6. If the above assumptions are true then the answer to the question would be logically no.
But one could make a case that an unlimited creator might be able to create more than what presently exists and thus might at some point create more than could be sustained by him.
At this point one of two things would occur, either the creation that was beyond his ability to sustain would cease to exist, or the creator would at that point cease to exist and become the thing created.
But at this point we have ceased talking about the God of Christianity and have begun discussion of the god of Buddahism.

I believe I have answered this question here once before. There are things that God can't do, by His choice. The reason God can't make a rock so big that He can't lift it is because there is no such thing as a rock so big that God can't lift it.

No, Zeus is not allpowerful... Or did you mean one of the other gods man has created? I'm sure any of them can or cant do what their believers want or don't want them to do.. simple really...
