We're not talking about something of a conundrum, it's about you giving an account for WHY God necessarily has attributes he cannot go against - why he has a nature he is BOUND by.
Not only that, he can make things that don't abide by that nature. If he is the author of natural laws and he is omnipotent, there should be absolutely nothing stopping him from making a squared circle or acting against his nature.
However, in the sense you're describing, these laws prescribe God's actions rather than describe actions - by strictly giving him necessary attributes, something which you cannot do with an infinitely powerful being.
Omnipotent means he has the power to do absolutely anything, in any context. How is it at all possible for him not to be able to act in a certain way?
