How can I split the message using the ShowMessage() or MessageDlg()
functions?

I want to format the message to have two or three multiple lines instead
of One long lined dialog?

Any help would be greatly appreciated..

use #13#10 in the string
eg
messagedlg('this'#13#10'is'#13#10'is my dialog',mterror,[mbOK],0);
or
messagedlg('this'+#13+#10+'is'+#13+#10+'is my dialog',mterror,[mbOK],0);

Try this...

MessageDlg('This is a multi-lined'#13'dialog that is split
over'#13'three lines', <other parameters go here>);

If you are using a message box that requires a pchar type, simply
typecast your expression       pchar('hello'+' there')

Do it like this ...

MessageDlg('First line in dialog.' + #13 +
     'Second line.', mtInformation, [mbOk], 0);
