Jesus is all the wealth I need, there is no kind of poverty whatsoever with Him. If anyone chooses a "wealthy" life with Satan, in no time at all he or she will see the true poverty that that person is living.

I would prefer poverty with Jesus because first of all I am a true believer follower of Jesus Christ second because wealth does not bring happiness and if provided by satan then it would be an illusion because satan is a liar and a thief.But if you follow God's commandments he will pour his love and mercy on you. Any one who is a God believer has faith and peace even through tough times.

I would have the wealth of love with Jesus. I think that is a LOT better than the wealth of money with Satan.

Poverty with Jesus. That's what all the people in the east are doing right? Poor people who have the constant threat of death because of their beliefs choose Jesus, why shouldn't I? Plus I'm a strong believer and Jesus is all I ever need.

That is a false premise.
There is no such thing as poverty with Jesus.
Its like a child who experiences some kind of discipline, rigour, etc. etc. when he is young, while other children get their way and get spoiled and toys and manipulate their parents etc. etc. etc.
The parent that rears his child in a state of discipline has money and security and the ability to indulge his child, but he doesn't because he also has wisdom.
The child feels like he is experiencing a kind of poverty when he isn't getting his children's things, but actually he is only being molded into a strong adult person.
The spoiled child will always be a child.
Christ said that the kingdom of heaven is the true riches, but he calls this world mammon.
I am not impoverished, I am only brought through a period of labor into the state of riches.
Its just as with anything in this world. The hardest road is the one that makes you the most prosperous.

I believe that I will be rich with Jesus in Heaven. There is more to wealth than money, I will have the love of God, that is worth all the Gold in Hell.

where is it written,poverty with Jesus or wealth with Satan,that's the stupid question for the day.
you need to get out and look around,at all the crack heads ,dope addicts and alcoholics,people that have sold everything just for a fix,they are certainly not living for God and out there on the streets hustling,and in the Bible it say we are to be prosperous,but a lot of Christians go under the assumption,like you, we are suppose to live like paupers,and it's not true,you've got it mixed up,like a lot of other people

In ancient Jewish tradition Satan is simply an angel doing the work that God assigned to Satan to do.
The word Satan means challenger. With the idea of Satan challenging us, or tempting if you will. This description sees Satan as the angel who is the embodiment of man's challenges. This idea of Satan works closely with God as an integral part of God plan for us. His job is to make choosing good over evil enough of a challenge so that it becomes clear to us that there can be only one meaningful or logical choice.
Contrast this to Christianity, which sees Satan as God's opponent. In Jewish thought, the idea that there exists anything capable of setting itself up as God's opponent would be considered polytheistic or setting up the devil to be an equally powerful polarity to god or a demigod.
Oddly, proof for The Christian satan/devil mythology is supposedly found in the ancient Jewish texts that were borrowed to create the bible. One can’t help but wonder how Christians came up with such a fantastically different interpretation of Gods assistant Satan in their theology.
Other hints about Satan’s role in human relations can be seen if you look at the name Lucifer. It meaning in the original tongue translates as Light bearer or light bringer. Essentially the bringer of enlightenment. The temptations of the Satan idea bring all of us eventually into Gods light. Hardly the Evil entity of Christian mythology.

Jesus, there is no doubt. Even if you had wealth with satan you would not have everything you need, so why bother.

As psalm 37 says, "better the little that the righteous have, than the wealth of many wicked". Riches last for a very short time; hell is eternal.
