Again, it will vary from person to person just as Sacred Gears are varied in terms of power and capability. It's been demonstrated, almost extensively I might add, in the light novels, the manga and both seasons of the anime that you need at least two critical factors to operate a Sacred Gear properly and to its full potential - that I've observed at least. To operate a Sacred Gear, be it artifical, "standard", or even a Longinus, you need to have: a strong body and a strong mind. In most cases, Sacred Gears manifest as a form of weapon, examples being Twice Critical, Boosted Gear, Sword Birth, Mirror Alice and Absorbtion Line. Other Sacred Gears mainifest as a unique ability such as Twilight Healing, Forbidden Balor View and Annilation Maker.

Having a strong body will help ensure the user that he/she can harness and contain the power of their Sacred Gear at sufficent levels. A level that would help them engage foes that would otherwise prove difficult for us to defeat. A time and true case-in-point is found in Issei Hyodouu. In the beginning, he was considered to be very, very, weak by supernatural standards. As Vail inferred, his lineage could be considered the epitome of normlacy and dullness, with the one highlight being Issei being chosen as Ddraig's next host - IE receiving the Boosted Gear. As Azazel mentioned in Vol 4 of the Light Novels, if Issei were to remain human at the time of the Boosted Gears re-activaton, the results would have been disastrous, ranging from mass destruction to his death. Thus the order for his execution, hoping Ddraig would be forced to move on to another, hopefully more compatible host. His ressurection by Rias through the Evil Piece System was ultimately a happy accident that gave him a chance to learn about his gear and train himself in its usage and his body in order to make more and better use of it. Nevertheless, the point stands, not everyone is inheritly compatible with such power. If said power were to awaken and the person wasn't ready or able to accept it, the end result would be unpleasant to say the least. Thus, to take on A God - or THE God - a person would have to ensure that they can harness the power of an artifact/ability that can destory them. Otherwise, all that will await the person is a quick, violent, and bloody death. If need be, I will offer more of my opinion later if you desire.
