It could be any number of things and you give very little information. A quick way to check would be to put a volt meter on the battery with the car off it should show near 12.6 volts (anything about 12.2v is ok). Start the car and check the voltage it should be around 13.5v, if the same as with the vehicle off check the alternator to battery wire and that the alternator is 12volts. If the power doesn't change when you turn the car off it is probably the alternator.
I do think you need to give more info cause a car going dead could be any number of things. I recommend you go to the nearest automotive store and getting your battery and alternator tested by them to make absolutely sure they are the problem.

Does the 1994 Cherokee jeep sport have an alternator light on the inside panel?
When my jeep cherokee alternator went bad, the check engine light came on and I didnt have a clue what was going on until my volt guage was reading in the red zone. When I replaced my alternator, the light went off. So in my opinion i wouldnt consider the check engine light as a alternator light.
