If you are referring to a religious "God", I think He would have to be omnipotent. All religious gods that I am aware of have supposedly created everything when nothing existed. Therefore, what or who would be there to limit His "powers" while creating the universe. This is why any religious "God" would be a sadist, because they had the power not to allow suffering on earth. I present this argument to theists and all they can do is deny their "God" is a sadist without any reason.
If you are referring to the general idea of a higher entity, it could possibly not be omnipotent. For example, if matter already existed while this "higher entity" was creating the universe then there could be rules or limitations to its power.
