If the author has sit limits on the god's power, then yes it can be considered deus ex machina. For example, the god is fading from existence because he has few worshippers. He doesn't have much power anymore and barley clinging to life. Then he shouldn't be pulling powerful spells out of his sleeves. There was a series in the Forgotten Realms books that dealt with this idea long ago.
