How do I cache messages?

How can I cache messages in discord.js? I wanted to make a reaction roles system, but the event for adding reactions works only for cached messages. I put this code in the "ready" function:

bot.channels.cache.get(channel id).messages.cache.get(message id)

This does not work, the event still does not fire. Am I doing something wrong?

You can forcefully cache messages through MessageManager#fetch.

// with promises
bot.channels.cache
 .get('channel id')
 .messages.fetch('message id')
 .then(() => {
  console.log(`The message has been cached`);
 });

// with async/await (make sure your function is async)
await bot.channels.cache.get('channel id').messages.fetch('message id');
console.log(`The message has been cached`);
