messages = {"test1","test2","test3","test4"}  
setTimer(function() 
    local randomMsg = math.random(1,#messages) 
        textDisplay = textCreateDisplay ( ) 
        textItem = textCreateTextItem ( messages, 0.5, 0.5, 2, 255, 255, 255, 255, 3, "center", "center" ) 
        textDisplayAddText ( textDisplay, textItem ) 
        for _, thePlayer in ipairs ( getElementsByType ( "player" ) ) do

Try this:

messages = {"test1","test2","test3","test4"} 
textDisplay = textCreateDisplay() 
textItem = textCreateTextItem(messages[math.random(#messages)], 0.5, 0.5, 2, 255, 255, 255, 255, 3, "center", "center") 
textDisplayAddText(textDisplay, textItem) 
  
setTimer(function() 
    textItemSetText(textItem, messages[math.random(#messages)]) 
    for _, thePlayer in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
        if not textDisplayIsObserver(textDisplay, thePlayer) then 
            textDisplayAddObserver(textDisplay, thePlayer) 
        end 
    end 
end, 60000, 0)
