Now that's a proper question I will gladly answer!

What you need to know first is that Awakening is not a powerup: this is quite clearly demonstrated by how non awakened Accelerator defeated a winged Kakine, how Touma defeated an awakened Accelerator (twice), and how Rensa (not sure if you're there yet) used Accelerator's wings, but was still defeated. The power is not about the strength of Accelerator, but about his importance in SYSTEM and Aleister's plans.

Now, said power didn't come out of nowhere: its origin is properly hinted in some of the novels. First, there is Accelerator's epithet: ''The One Who Wields the Power of God. As you probably noticed, this sounds extremely familiar to angels' names: the Power of God (Gabriel), the Likeliness of God (michael), the Medecine of God (Raphael), etc. Then, there is how Level 6, reaching SYSTEM, also have religious connotations, being defined as "Those who are not deities that reach the sense of the heavens" and find a body that exceeds humans and can do God's calculations''. Angels are the beings just under God, even noted by Quabbalah in their positions. Finally, there is how Aleister compares Accelerator, Last Order, and Kazakiri Hyouka to the Christian Trinity, adding even more symbolism.
