Two years now since the Lord had laid upon us the dream of JeremiahCry Ministries. Why you may ask, the name Jeremiah Cry? It is an amazing name once you begin to study biblical names and there meanings.God had given me the name “JeremiahCry” while walking to class one day, it just popped into my mind.
I thought, wow… that sounds like a cool name, and decided to use it. Later, I searched the word of God to study the life of Jeremiah to see if what was so significant about the name Jeremiah, and why the word “Cry” would be a great asset to the title as well. I found out that the name Jeremiah meant in Hebrew “God will raise up” or “Exalted by God.” The meaning was simple yet profound. God would be the one who would raise up this ministry, and it would not be by the hand of man, but God Himself. (Jeremiah’s example inspires Christians to persevere in proclaiming the gospel even when it is not popular, and even when being ridiculed, as well as to trust that even when disaster strikes, God has long-range plans for the restoration of his people.)The word “Cry” is associated with “lamenting”, or “crying out”. I believe this is a key point to this word being used. We as the body of Christ must become “The Voice of one crying out in the wilderness.” We have compromised for too long! We have just stood by and remained silent while the enemy tramples upon our marriages, upon our homes, upon our children, upon our schools, and tramples upon our nation and upon the people of God!!! JeremiahCry Ministries has been “raised up” by the hand of God to “Cry” out against the wickedness of this depraved and wicked world. To Cry out, to herald the “Good News” of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We can no longer pretend that nothing is wrong, we have paid dearly for our apathy and indifference. Oh, how we must heed the warning of Scripture when the bible speakes of becoming “Luke warm.” I am tired of all the hoopla, all the obnoxious behavior we see demonstrated today in the church. Where are all the “Prophets’ of God today? We have got every program on the planet when it comes to Church activities, while many remain inactiveand indifferent to the commands of Christ and and eternity.We’ve got “Bowling with Boys,” “Golfing with the guys,” “Fishing with the fellows, but what about the “Army of God?” God is calling for prayer warriors, not weekend warriors, TRUTH tellers, not fortune tellers! Lets come together as the Church of Christ and go to war! Let’s unite for Christ, but not at the expense of compromising the truth to do so. JeremiahCry Ministries is a ministry not only to reach the Lost, but a ministry to exalt and to glorify God above all. We are not only given the mandate to proclaim the word of God, but to train up and disciple others to do it as well. This is why we exist as a ministry.
God Bless,
