We live in a world of “fake it till you make it”, but in the real sense, the majority of fake people end up losers. You don’t have to fake it till you make it. You can be genuine, authentic and successful. In fact, you will need to be genuine to succeed in life. God wants those who are fake to stop being fake and live a genuine lifestyle.

Is. 55:7 (NKJV)Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the LORD, And He will have mercy on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon.
To be fake is to live an unrighteous lifestyle. This scripture enjoins unrighteous people to forsake their way of unrighteousness and turn to the Lord because He will show His mercy and forgive their sins. If you live a fake life, you need to do away with the fakeness and embrace God’s grace and mercy.
