It does not have POWERS in the sense that I think you mean but it Sacred, rather Abraham built it originally with his Son as deed to be accepted from God. The original stone is still there, all though the hand prints have worn off since millions of people have touched it. We pray in the direction because God asked us to do. And we are his true followers.
The Ka`bah is the First House of Worship
God said,
(Verily, the first House appointed for mankind) for all people, for their acts of worship and religious rituals. They go around the House [in Tawaf], pray in its vicinity and remain in its area in I`tikaf.
(was that at Mecca,) meaning, the Ka`bah that was built by Abraham the Friend, whose religion the Jews and Christians claim they follow. However, they do not perform Hajj to the house that Abraham built by God's command, and to which he invited the people to perform Hajj. God said next,
(full of blessing), sanctified,
(and a guidance for Al-`Alamin.)
Imam Ahmad recorded that Abu Dharr said; "I said, `O God's Messenger! Which Masjid was the first to be built on the surface of the earth' He said, `Al-Masjid Al-Haram (in Makkah).' I said, `Which was built next' He replied `Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa (in Jerusalem).' I said, `What was the period of time between building the two' He said, `Forty years.' He added,
(Wherever (you may be, and) the prayer becomes due, perform the prayer there, for the whole earth was made a Masjid.)'' Al-Bukhari and Muslim also collected this Hadith.
Mecca is Sacred Area
Makkah is a Sacred Area
God said,
(And (remember) when Abraham said, "My Lord, make this city (Makkah) a place of security and provide its people with fruits, such of them as believe in God and the Last Day.'')
Imam Abu Ja`far bin Jarir At-Tabari narrated that Jabir bin `Abdullah said that the Messenger of God said,
(Abraham made God's House a Sacred Area and a safe refuge. I have made what is between the two sides of Al-Madinah a Sacred Area. Therefore, its game should not be hunted, and its trees should not be cut.) An-Nasa'i and Muslim also recorded this Hadith.
There are several other Hadiths that indicate that God made Makkah a sacred area before He created the heavens and earth. The Two Sahihs recorded `Abdullah bin `Abbas saying that the Messenger of God said,
(God has made this city a sanctuary (sacred place) the Day He created the heavens and earth. Therefore, it is a sanctuary until the Day of Resurrection because God made it a sanctuary. It was not legal for anyone to fight in it before me, and it was legal for me for a few hours of one day. Therefore, it is a sanctuary until the Day of Resurrection, because God made it a sanctuary. None is allowed to uproot its thorny shrubs, or to chase its game, or to pick up something that has fallen, except by a person who announces it publicly, nor should any of its trees be cut.) Al-`Abbas said, `O Messenger of God! Except the lemon-grass, for our goldsmiths and for our graves.' The Prophet added, (Except lemon-grass.)
This is the wording of Muslim. The Two Sahihs also recorded Abu Hurayrah narrating a similar Hadith, while Al-Bukhari recorded a similar Hadith from Safiyyah bint Shaybah who narrated it from the Prophet .
Abu Shurayh Al-`Adawi said that he said to `Amr bin Sa`id while he was sending armies to Makkah, "O Commander! Let me narrate a Hadith that the Messenger of God said the day that followed the victory of Makkah. My ears heard the Hadith, my heart comprehended it, and my eyes saw the Prophet when he said it. He thanked God and praised him and then said,
(God, not the people, made Makkah a sanctuary, so any person who has belief in God and the Last Day, should neither shed blood in it nor should he cut down its trees. If anybody argues that fighting in it is permissible on the basis that God's Messenger fought in Makkah, say to him, `God allowed His Messenger and did not allow you.' God allowed me only for a few hours on that day (of the Conquest), and today its sanctity is valid as it was before. So, those who are present should inform those who are absent (concerning this fact).)
Abu Shurayh was asked, `What did `Amr reply' He said, (`Amr said) `O Abu Shurayh! I know better than you about this, the Sacred House does not give protection to a sinner, a murderer or a thief.' This Hadith was collected by Al-Bukhari and Muslim.
After this, there is no contradiction between the Hadiths that stated that God made Makkah a sanctuary when He created the heavens and earth and the Hadiths that Abraham made it a sanctuary, since Abraham conveyed God's decree that Makkah is a sanctuary, before he built the House. Similarly, the Messenger of God was written as the Final Prophet when Adam was still clay. Yet, Abraham said,
(Our Lord! Send amongst them a Messenger of their own) (2: 129).
God accepted Abraham's supplication, although He had full knowledge beforehand that it will occur by His decree. To further elaborate on this subject, we should mention the Hadith about what the Messenger of God said when he was asked, "O Messenger of God! Tell us about how your prophethood started.'' He said,
(I am the supplication of my father Abraham, the good news of Jesus, the son of Mary, and my mother saw a light that radiated from her which illuminated the castles of Ash-Sham (Syria).)
In this Hadith, the Companions asked the Messenger about the beginning of his prophethood. We will explain this matter later, if God wills
Peace Be With You

Ibn `Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “The Black Stone came down from Jannah (Paradise).” (At-Tirmidhi, Sunan, hadith no. 877, and classified as authentic hadith by Sheikh Al-Albaani in his book Sahih At-Tirmidthi, hadith no. 695 )
Ibn `Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) also narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “When the Black Stone came down from Paradise, it was whiter than milk, but the sins of the sons of Adam made it black.” (At-Tirmidhi, Sunan)
Ibn `Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) further related that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “By Allah, Allah will bring it forth on the Day of Judgment, and it will have two eyes with which it will see and a tongue with which it will speak, and it will testify in favor of those who touched it in sincerity.” (At-Tirmidhi, Sunan)
Ibn `Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) quoted the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as saying: “Touching them both [the Black Stone and Ar-Rukn Al-Yamani] is an expiation for one’s sins.” (At-Tirmidhi, Sunan, hadith no. 959. This hadith is classified as hasan by At-Tirmidhi and as Sahih by Al-Hakim (1/664), and Adh-Dhahabi agreed with him.)
