God isn't known as omnipotent it is believed he is omnipotent and that's what makes people believe in God: faith that He can help them with anything!

He's not. The Bible is supposedly God's perfect Word. It contains instructions to humankind for avoiding the eternal fires of hell. How wonderful and kind of this God to provide us with this means of overcoming the problems for which he is ultimately responsible! The all-powerful God could have, by a mere act of will, eliminated all of the problems we humans must endure, but instead, in his infinite wisdom, he has opted to offer this indecipherable amalgam of books which is the Bible as a means for avoiding the hell which he has prepared for us. The perfect God has decided to reveal his wishes in this imperfect work, written in the imperfect language of imperfect man, translated, copied, interpreted, voted on, and related by imperfect man.
No two men will ever agree what this perfect word of God is supposed to mean, since much of it is either self- contradictory, or obscured by enigmatic symbols. And yet the perfect God expects us imperfect humans to understand this paradoxical riddle using the imperfect minds with which he has equipped us. Surely the all-wise and all-powerful God would have known that it would have been better to reveal his perfect will directly to each of us, rather than to allow it to be debased and perverted by the imperfect language and botched interpretations of man.

It's a form of wish fulfilment - God is considered by some to be created by the human mind to make them feel safer.

He is all powerful, as revealed in the Hebrew names El Shaddai which is often rendered 'The Almighty' and El Elyon, 'the Most High God.'

Because we figure someone or something has to know all there is to know. Seeing as how humans haven't any kind of faith in themselves they imagine God, the all pervading and all knowing.
