I think I understand the point you're making, however, God is not an irrational being. He cannot violate the law of non-contradiction not because it limits His omnipresence or His being, but rather it would be inconsistent with His nature. He is a rational being and therefore what He does and what He reveals is rational.
The fact that He is sovereign is what I would term a NECESSARY logical conclusion that explains existence of other beings and the objective reality of good and evil.
You are correct that to begin with the presupposition of God's sovereignty is the correct starting place not only for doctrine but for reasoning itself.
