Here's my theory.

1.All gods have some degree of basic power aside from their domain. This includes their godly form, superhuman strength, ability to curse, etc. These are, as Apollo would put it, is what makes one a god, or a Greek god for that matter.

2.The powers of gods in their domains are highly heightened due to the practice they undergo using their powers. Zeus practiced throwing his lightning bolts and summoning waves of lightning, hence he is the god of the sky, lightning and thunder. Poseidon learned the laws of the sea, flipped the earth using his trident and summoned storms and is hence the Lord of the Sea, Earthshaker and the Stormbringer. Kronos was able to manipulate the bolt probably beca use he is the son of Ouranos, the sky.

3. It might be possible to stop them. Gods of the same domain often fight against each other, when Oceanus fought Poseidon, for example.
