Get specific message from specific channel

Purpose: I'm trying to make my bot check for reactions from a specific message.

I've read this post: Get Message By ID: Discord.js But it didn't help at all.

I've searched the internet to see how can I use .fetchMessage properly. But unfortunately didn't find any results.

This is my code:

client.channels.get('CHANNEL ID').fetchMessage('MESSAGE ID').then(async msg => { *CODE HERE* });

This is the error i get:

TypeError: client.channels.get is not a function

I do realise that client.channels.get is not a function and I should use this in a function but I don't know how to.

Discord.js version: 12.0.2

Node.js verison: 12.13

In v12 it has changed and uses managers and added this command to my bot and fixed it.

let channelMessage = client.channels.cache.get(channel_id) // Grab the channel
channelMessage.messages.fetch(message_id).then(messageFeteched => messageFeteched.delete({timeout: 5000})); // Delete the message after 5 seconds

That answer was for v11, in v12 it has changed to:

client.channels.cache.get(chid).messages.cache.fetch(mesid)

However, it's important to note that client.channels.cache may contain non-text channels, if you are retrieving an ID that you know to be a TextChannel type, you will be fine but if the ID is being retrieved programmatically you need to check to ensure it is an instanceof TextChannel.
