This does not work (it gives a warning that the message command was
called with wrong number of arguments). However, if I try to call
just hello() I get an error stating that I called the macro with
the wrong number of arguments.. What am I doing wrong here? I found
the samebehaviour with functions.

You're expecting MESSAGE to be variable name but you call it with string value. 
So
message("${MESSAGE}")
evaluates to
message("${Hello World}")

...eh? I'm pretty sure "${MESSAGE}" -> "Hello World".

That said, have you tried naming the variable other than the name of a built-in command? I could imagine that might cause problems...
