Define omnipotence however you want to. God may fail to satisfy your definition. But so what?
You definining 'omnipotence' your way is perfectly consistent with God satisfying the definition of omnipotence that dominates the classical theism tradition. In which case classical theism could be true. You don't disprove a theory by defining one of its key terms differently from the way its proponents define it.
To illustrate the point, let me now 'disprove' the validity of science by defining science as "the answer to every possible question, provided it's delivered to my door by midnight tonight."
