According to my belief Jesus's number one message was to worship God alone.

The Church Jesus founded is not based on the revelation of others. It is founded by a direct revelation from God.
“13 When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” 14 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” 16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” 17 Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven.” (Matthew 16:13-17)

Well, - of the three you list, - obviously worship ONE God.
However my choice would be LOVE!
Mar 12:29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
Mar 12:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
Mar 12:31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

Yes^^^^^^ this.
"Love one another as you would love yourself." There are many different translations of
this but you get the message.
In the poll I'll go with 'none of the above'. I'll go with the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

According to the Gospel of Matthew, God revealed to Peter that Jesus is the Messiah. According to Matthew how is Jesus the Messiah?

Do you mean their misuse/mistranslation of Isaiah as being a prophecy of Jesus?
I get a kick out of that one. He isn't even named Immanuel, - he was named Jesus.
Jesus only claims to be the Messiah.
The Messiah is an awaited, prophesized, HUMAN from the line of King David.

I'll reword it. What is the message of Gospel of Matthew? I'm not asking if you believe it or not, that's another issue.

the main message of Jesus was the news of the soon coming Kingdom of God which He will rule over here on earth. it was this message which got Him killed because the Romans thought He would try to overthrow the Roman government to set up the kingdom right away

Definetely love was also one of his messages, the same with the sword verse according to the bible.
But i was talking about the Core Message of Jesus pbuh regarding Ideology. Did he preached Oneness of God, Trinity or "Worship Me" . That is really more core and ideological than just "love ur fellow human".
As for "love" , even buddhists may have such belief system.

Is this an answer to my question?

I can't really disagree with that... As you'll recall Jesus was asked "what is the greatest commandment"?
...Matthew 22:35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, 22:36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
22:38 This is the first and great commandment.
(King James Bible, Matthew)
But what was the specific message that Jesus taught which was most essential in His time?
I believe it was how to deal with the Roman occupation...How to survive the Roman occupation, this part of His message was unlike that being taught by any of the would be Messiahs of His time and later! He taught that you should pay your taxes.. "Give to Caesar what is Caesars"; He taught that when you are slapped on one cheek to turn the other cheek... He taught that when you are asked to carry a burden for one mile.. to carry it for three miles or whatever...and He taught to love your enemy and bless those who persecute you.
Did the people accept His teaching? No...for the most part they supported Zealots and those who they thought would lead them in a military action of liberation from Rome. later the people would follow Simon bar Kockba and within a few years the entire enterprise collapsed... Jerusalem was dedicated to Jupiter Aelia capitolina and the Jews were exiled and refused to return to Jerusalem for many years.
Read wikipedia:
According to Eusebius'Chronicon (now Chronicle of Jerome), he severely punished the sect of Christians with death by different means of torture for their refusal to fight against the Romans.[8]

Then I'd say "oneness" but not oneness of God, but oneness with God. Through salvation, you're not just a separate being from God, but you're made to be one with God. I don't see that option in your list either.

Yes to worship God alone, its no one else's business, that's why I don't like organized religions, all they do is imprison us and never let us go.

None of the above.
"Love thy neighbor as thyself".

If only more of us lived like that, it would be a far more beautiful world to live in.
