Go to:
Settings > Your Name, iCloud, etc
Tap iCloud
Are Messages turned on (green)?
If yes, there is no way to retrieve the deleted message
If Messages are not turned on and you have a backup made from before you deleted the message, you can restore your phone from that backup, but your phone will be restored to the date the backup was made, meaning new messages sent or received after the date the backup was made will be gone.
