Sure! "pay off" or "pay-off" (also "payoff") in such a statement could have one or more of the meanings "profit, recompense, return, outcome, result or conclusion". I'm not sure in what context this statement was given, but, if it was given in a Bible-believing church then it is a very good, applicable statement to the life of a born-again believer in Christ. Otherwise I'm not sure how reliable of a statement it would be. If you have more questions on the intent and bearing of the statement in the Bible-believing Christian kind of context, just let me know and I would be happy to help.
