Author of quotes: Dmitry Zherebnenkov

In order not to be struck by star fever, you need to know how it comes and how to recover from it. The grace of God is an elixir for everyone who is in this disease. Re-read the fourth chapter of James, and pay attention to the true meaning of humility and repentance. By living a life of humility, you can avoid the disease of arrogance over others. Let glorifying God be the central purpose of your ministry.

“And so that I would not become exalted by the abundance of revelations, a thorn was given to me in the flesh, an angel of Satan, to buffet me, so that I would not become exalted” (2 Cor. 12:7).

Strange as it may seem, it is precisely by serving, and receiving certain blessings and success, that there is a temptation, or temptation, to fall ill with star fever.

Star fever is an extreme degree of overestimation of one's personality and capabilities. This is an acute attack of pride, which results in neglect of other people and exaggeration of one’s merits. Very often this can be seen when a person elevates himself above others and tries to show it in every possible way. Star sickness syndrome is the signs by which one can determine if a certain person has “caught” or “become ill” with this disease.
