You cannot imagine a being capable of doing something you cannot imagine as possible. You cannot imagine a square circle.

You have imagined such a being and decided to worship it.

And, this is not really a question of a being's capability, it's a question of whether the capability, itself, is logically possible. Omnipotence is impossible because either you must be able to invent an unbreachable limit to your powers, or be unable to limit your own powers, which is a limit itself. This is a debate a six year old could solve in a minute and no one has ever presented an objection to it which amounts to more than childish sophistry.
